Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): 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). .
Scientific background (datasheet): 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. 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.
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 Cancer,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.
