Flavin containing dimethylaniline monooxygenase 8, pseudogene (FMO8P)

FMO8P is annotated as a **pseudogene** in humans, specifically named *flavin containing dimethylaniline monooxygenase 8, pseudogene*. This locus is part of the flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) gene family, which encodes enzymes involved in drug and xenobiotic metabolism, but FMO8P itself does **not code for a functional protein**[5][1][6]. The FMO gene family includes several functional members (FMO1–5), which catalyze oxidation of soft nucleophilic heteroatoms (e.g., sulfur, nitrogen) in drugs and xenobiotics, but FMO8P does **not produce a functional enzyme or have a known physiological or pathological role**[2][7]. FMO pseudogenes like FMO8P are often remnants of gene duplication or evolutionary processes and lack evidence for translation or catalytic activity[5][6].\n\n**Summary:**\n- FMO8P is a non-functional gene (pseudogene) and **not a real therapeutic target**.\n- It should not be listed as an enzyme, transporter, or receptor, nor associated with drug interaction, mechanisms of action, disease, or biomarker use.\n\nIf you require a functional FMO (such as FMO1, FMO3, etc.), more data can be provided for those active enzymes.
