Abstract excerpt
NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is an important enzyme which can catalyze the two-electron reduction of quinoid compounds into hydroquinones. NQO1 Pro187Ser polymorphism can change the enzymatic activity of NQO1, and it has been proposed to be associated with risk of esophageal cancer. W...
