title: The flavin-containing monooxygenases in rat liver: evidence for the expression of a second form different from FMO1.
abstract: A second form of rat liver FMO, FMO-A, was separated and purified by chromatography on Blue Sepharose Fast flow 6. This FMO-A is different from FMO1 by antigenic properties (anti-FMO-A did not cross-react with FMO1, and reciprocally) and by catalytic properties (the Km for trimethylamine was 3.8 microM and 141.4 microM for FMO-A and FMO1, respectively; the Km for imipramine was 536 microM and 17.4 microM for FMO-A and FMO1, respectively). Furthermore, N-terminal amino sequencing revealed differences in the primary structure of these two FMOs although they both contained the highly conserved FAD-binding domain (Gly-X-Gly-X-X-Gly).
