Fmo2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables monooxygenase activity. Acts upstream of or within energy homeostasis; negative regulation of fatty acid oxidation; and oxygen metabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; limb; mesothelium; metanephros; and nose. Orthologous to human FMO2 (flavin containing dimethylaniline monoxygenase 2).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Fmo2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- NAD(P)-binding Rossmann-like domain
- monooxygenase
- enzyme
- Flavin-binding monooxygenase-like
- FAD-NAD(P)-binding
- dimethylaniline monooxygenase (N-oxide-forming)
