Predicted to enable monooxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in hypodermis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension; inherited metabolic disorder; and trimethylaminuria. Orthologous to several human genes including FMO2 (flavin containing dimethylaniline monoxygenase 2); FMO3 (flavin containing dimethylaniline monoxygenase 3); and FMO4 (flavin containing dimethylaniline monoxygenase 4).
WB Description
fmo-3 encodes a flavin-containing monoxygenase homologous to human FMO1, FMO2, and FMO3 (OMIM:602079, mutated in trimethylaminuria).
