FMO4 Antibody recognizes flavin-containing monooxygenase 4 (FMO4), a member of the flavin-containing monooxygenase family involved in the oxidative metabolism of endogenous compounds and xenobiotics. These microsomal enzymes catalyze oxygenation reactions involving substrates containing nucleophilic nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus atoms. FMO4 belongs to a group of NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases that contribute to cellular detoxification and the metabolism of pharmaceuticals and environmental chemicals.
The human FMO4 gene is located on chromosome 1, alongside several related flavin-containing monooxygenase genes. Members of this family contain conserved flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-binding and NADPH-binding regions essential for enzymatic activity. Although individual FMOs share structural similarities, they differ in substrate preferences, catalytic efficiency, and physiological roles. FMO4 remains less extensively characterized than other family members, particularly FMO1 and FMO3.
Flavin-containing monooxygenases operate through a catalytic mechanism in which NADPH reduces the FAD cofactor, allowing molecular oxygen to form a reactive hydroperoxyflavin intermediate. This intermediate transfers an oxygen atom to suitable substrates, generating oxidized products. Unlike cytochrome P450 enzymes, FMOs do not require a separate electron-transfer protein for catalysis. These differences make the FMO family an important complementary system in oxidative drug metabolism.
FMO4 has also been associated with historical changes in flavin-containing monooxygenase nomenclature. Some older publications used designations that differ from current gene classifications, making it important to distinguish FMO4 from related enzymes when reviewing earlier research. Investigations of FMO4 may help clarify its contribution to xenobiotic metabolism, substrate selectivity, and the functional diversity of microsomal oxidoreductases.
NSJ Bioreagents offers reagents for investigating metabolic enzymes and their roles in cellular physiology. An FMO4 Antibody provides a research tool for examining flavin-containing monooxygenase 4 expression and studying the biological functions of this comparatively understudied enzyme.

The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the FMO4 Antibody / Flavin-Containing Monooxygenase 4 Polyclonal Antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
An amino acid sequence from the N-terminus of human Flavin containing monooxygenase 4 (HEDYPNFMNHEKFWDYLQ) was used as the immunogen for this FMO4 antibody.
After reconstitution, the FMO4 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
