Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The two electron reduction of quinones to hydroquinones by NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) plays an important role in both activation and detoxification of quinone and similarly reactive compounds. A single nucleotide polymorphism at exon 6 leads to an amino acid change at codon 187 from proline to serine. The variant allele has been associated with decreased NQO1 enzyme activity and increased cancer...
