Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): This protein is involved in the oxidative metabolism of a variety of xenobiotics such as drugs and pesticides.
Scientific background (datasheet): FMO4 (Flavin-containing monooxygenase 4) also known as FMO2, FORMERLY or FMO, ADULT LIVER FORM, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FMO4 gene. By PCR analysis, Dolphin et al. (1992) mapped the FMO4 gene to chromosome 1. Southern blot hybridization with single exon probes demonstrated that human FMO4 and FMO1 are, in each case, the product of a single gene. Lawton et al. (1994) proposed a reclassification of mammalian FMOs. Under this system, FMO2 described by Dolphin et al. (1992) is now designated FMO4.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Microsome membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Tissue details (datasheet): Liver.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the FMO family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Drug Metabolism,Metabolic Signaling Pathways,Metabolism,Pathways and Processes,Signal Transduction.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
