TLDR
Human FMO3 may be another example of an environmental gene that participates in a protective mechanism to help humans ward off potentially toxic exposure of chemicals.
Characterization and modulation by drugs of sheep liver microsomal flavin monooxygenase activity
TLDR
Sheep liver microsomal FMO‐catalysed methimazole oxidation was inhibited by imipramine and chlorpromazine when these drugs were used at high concentrations and FMO activity was found to increase with the addition of detergents to the reaction medium.

methimazole by bovine liver microsomal flavine monooxygenase : modulation by imipramine and chlorpromazine , comparison with sheep enzyme
TLDR
This is the first study to show the metabolism of methimazole by bovine liver microsomal flavin monooxygenase, and results obtained in this study are compared to those obtained previously with sheep enzyme.

Hepatic Flavin-Containing Monooxygenase 3 Enzyme Suppressed by Type 1 Allergy-Produced Nitric Oxide
TLDR
Type 1 allergic mice had differentially suppressed F MO3-dependent BDZ N-oxygenation, which is expected to alter FMO3-metabolic capacity–limited drug pharmacokinetics in humans.

TLDR
Immunocytochemical examination of rat brain sections using the above antibody revealed the preferential localization of flavin-containing monooxygenase in the neuronal cell body of brain microsomes, of profound pharmacological significance.

TLDR
Recent work on the number of isoforms present in major organs of entry, possible methods for estimating substrate specificity and activity of different isoforms in crude tissue preparations, and methods for manipUlating hepatic concentration (activity) of flavin-containing monooxygenases with dietary xenobiotics are focused on.
Human pharmacogenetics of nitrogen oxidations
TLDR
Drug and foreign compound biotransformations are mediated by a group of enzymes known collectively as the ‘drug-metabolizing enzymes’, which mediate the oxidation of xenobiotic compounds and many of them also have a known physiological role.

Catalytic activity and immunohistochemical localization of flavin-containing monooxygenase in rat kidney.
Tissue- and species-dependent expression of multiple forms of mammalian microsomal flavin-containing monooxygenase.
TLDR
The findings show that the expression of flavin monooxygenase isozymes is tissue and species dependent.

TLDR
The results demonstrate that, at least in rabbit, flavin-containing monooxygenase can exist as more than a single form.

TLDR
N-Oxidation of N,N-dimethylaniline and oxidative demethylation of aminopyrine were studied in human liver hornogenates and neither activity was preferentially influenced by a specific disease process, but both decreased upon severe tissue damage.
