| abstract |
The present invention concerns, in particular, human flavin-containing monooxygenase 2 (hFMO2), and another human enzyme of the FMO, hFMOx family, their nucleotide and polypeptide sequences. The present invention also concerns vectors for cloning and/or expression containing said nucleotide sequences and cells transformed by these vectors and method for preparing said polypeptides. The invention further concerns methods for selecting compounds and of diagnosing predisposition to pathologies and/or deficiencies related to FMO's and pharmaceutical compositions containing said compounds for treating and/or preventing these pathologies. |
