Acts as a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase on a broad range of substrates. Catalyzes the insertion of an oxygen atom into a carbon-carbon bond adjacent to a carbonyl, which converts ketones to esters . Active on diverse carbonyl compounds, whereas soft nucleophiles are mostly non- or poorly reactive . In contrast with other forms of FMO it is non- or poorly active on 'classical' substrates such as drugs, pesticides, and dietary components containing soft nucleophilic heteroatoms . Able to oxidize drug molecules bearing a carbonyl group on an aliphatic chain, such as nabumetone and pentoxifylline . Also, in the absence of substrates, shows slow but yet significant NADPH oxidase activity . Acts as a positive modulator of cholesterol biosynthesis as well as glucose homeostasis, promoting metabolic aging via pleiotropic effects .

Flavin-containing monooxygenase 5 (FMO 5) (Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase 1) (hBVMO1) (EC 1.14.13.-) (Dimethylaniline monooxygenase [N-oxide-forming] 5) (EC 1.14.13.8) (Dimethylaniline oxidase 5) (NADPH oxidase) (EC 1.6.3.1)
