Update of the NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO) gene family.

Human genomics - 1 Mar 2006

Vasiliou Vasilis, Ross David, Nebert Daniel W

Abstract excerpt

The NAD(P)H:quinone acceptor oxidoreductase (NQO) gene family belongs to the flavoprotein clan and, in the human genome, consists of two genes (NQO1 and NQO2). These two genes encode cytosolic flavoenzymes that catalyse the beneficial two-electron reduction of quinones to hydroquinones. This reaction prevents the unwanted one-electron reduction of quinones by other quinone reductases; one-electron reduction...
