Anti-Human FMO5 Polyclonal Antibody

Flavin-containing monooxygenase 5 (FMO5) is a ~60 kDa protein. Acts as a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase on a broad range of substrates. Catalyzes the insertion of an oxygen atom into a carbon-carbon bond adjacent to a carbonyl, which converts ketones to esters. Active on diverse carbonyl compounds, whereas soft nucleophiles are mostly non- or poorly reactive. In contrast with other forms of FMO it is non- or poorly active on 'classical' substrates such as drugs, pesticides, and dietary components containing soft nucleophilic heteroatoms (Probable). Able to oxidize drug molecules bearing a carbonyl group on an aliphatic chain, such as nabumetone and pentoxifylline.
