Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human FMO3, different from the related mouse sequence by eight amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by six amino acids.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 60 kDa; calculated MW: 60 kDa
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Dimethylaniline monooxygenase [N-oxide-forming] 3; Dimethylaniline monooxygenase [N-oxide-forming] 3. FMO3 (Flavin-containing Monooxygenase 3) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FMO3 gene. The mammalian flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMO) represent a multigene family whose gene products are localized in the endoplasmic reticulum of many tissues. The FMO3 gene contains 1 noncoding and 8 coding exons. And the FMO3 gene is mapped on 1q24.3. Using quantitative RNase protection assays, FMO3 is present in low abundance in fetal liver and lung and in adult kidney and lung, and in much greater abundance in adult liver. By Western blot analysis of human liver microsomal samples ranging from 8 weeks gestation to 18 years of age, FMO1 is the major fetal isoform and FMO3 is the major adult isoform. FMO3 was expressed at intermediate levels until 11 years of age when a gender-independent increase in FMO3 expression was observed during puberty. Sufferers of trimethylaminuria may display a reduced ability to metabolize substrates for FMO3 such as nicotine. FMO3 metabolizes a number of drugs, including amphetamine, clozapine, deprenyl, metamphetamine, tamoxifen, ethionamide, thiacetazone, and sulindac sulfide. Functional note: Involved in the oxidative metabolism of a variety of xenobiotics such as drugs and pesticides. It N-oxygenates primary aliphatic alkylamines as well as secondary and tertiary amines. Plays an important role in the metabolism of trimethylamine (TMA), via the production of TMA N-oxide (TMAO). Is also able to perform S-oxidation when acting on sulfide compounds (PubMed:9224773). . Reported localization: Microsome membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Expression/tissue context: Liver.
