ABSTRACT
The flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMOs) is recognized as an important complimentary enzyme system next to the cytochrome P450 (CYP450), which catalyzes the metabolism of many xenobiotics (nucleophilic heteroatom-containing chemicals) and several endobiotics. This article provides a comprehensive introduction of FMOs including the biological characteristics, catalytic mechanism, substrate specificity, genetic polymorphisms. The effect of FMOs on drug metabolism and individual differences and relation with diseases are also mentioned. It is valuable for the discovery of therapeutic targets and design of new drug candidate.
