Gene information for FMO2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2327
Official gene symbolFMO2
Full nameflavin containing monooxygenase 2 (non-functional)
Aliases,FLJ40826,FMO1B1,
Gene summaryThe flavin-containing monooxygenases are NADPH-dependent enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of many drugs and xenobiotics. In most mammals, there is a flavin-containing monooxygenase that catalyzes the N-oxidation of some primary alkylamines through an N-hydroxylamine intermediate. However, in humans, this enzyme is truncated and is probably rapidly degraded. The protein encoded by this gene represents the truncated form and apparently has no catalytic activity. A functional allele found in African Americans has been reported, but no sequence evidence has been deposited to support the finding. This gene is found in a cluster with the FMO1, FMO3, and FMO4 genes on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq]
