Enables monooxygenase activity. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; corpus cardiacum primordium; embryonic stomatogastric nervous system; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; and neurohemal organ. Used to study chromosome 1q21.1 deletion syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension; inherited metabolic disorder; and trimethylaminuria. Orthologous to several human genes including FMO1 (flavin containing dimethylaniline monoxygenase 1); FMO3 (flavin containing dimethylaniline monoxygenase 3); and FMO5 (flavin containing dimethylaniline monoxygenase 5).
FB Description
Flavin-containing monooxygenase 2 (Fmo-2) encodes a monooxygenase involved in oxidation-reduction metabolism.
