UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P97872 (P97872)
Gene Name:
Fmo5
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: 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. Able to oxidize drug molecules bearing a carbonyl group on an aliphatic chain, such as nabumetone and pentoxifylline. Also, in the absence of substrates, shows slow but yet significant NADPH oxidase activity (By similarity). Acts as a positive modulator of cholesterol biosynthesis as well as glucose homeostasis, promoting metabolic aging via pleiotropic effects (PubMed:26049045, PubMed:28646079)
