Functional metabolomics is a new concept, which studies the functions of metabolites and related enzymes focused on metabolomics. It overcomes the shortcomings of traditional discovery metabolomics of mainly relying on literatures for biological interpretation. Functional metabolomics has many advantages. Firstly, the functional roles of metabolites and related metabolic enzymes are focused. Secondly, thein vivoandin vitroexperiments are conducted to validate the metabolomics findings, therefore, increasing the reliability of metabolomics study and producing the new knowledge. Thirdly, functional metabolomics can be used by biologists to investigate functions of metabolites, and related genes and proteins. In this review, we summarize the analytical, biological and clinical platforms used in functional metabolomics studies. Recent progresses of functional metabolomics in cancer, metabolic diseases and biological phenotyping are reviewed, and future development is also predicted. Because of the tremendous advantages of functional metabolomics, it will have a bright future.
