| abstractText | Pulmonary microsomes from Rhesus macaque express a flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) resembling the FMO2 ortholog from rabbit with respect to immunochemical cross-reactivity and expression in lung, but not liver. A full-length cDNA was cloned following screening of a Rhesus macaque lung cDNA library. The nucleotide sequence contained an open reading frame encoding 535 amino acids with 85 and 84% identity to FMO2 from rabbit and guinea pig, respectively, and an identical location of the putative FAD- and NADP-binding sites. Northern blots of monkey lung mRNA revealed multiple size FMO2 transcripts. These mRNA transcripts are expressed in lung, but not in liver or kidney. |
