NQO1

This gene is a member of the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone) family and encodes a cytoplasmic 2-electron reductase. This FAD-binding protein forms homodimers and reduces quinones to hydroquinones. This protein's enzymatic activity prevents the one electron reduction of quinones that results in the production of radical species. Mutations in this gene have been associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD), an increased risk of hematotoxicity after exposure to benzene, and susceptibility to various forms of cancer. Altered expression of this protein has been seen in many tumors and is also associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Interaction

Homodimer (PubMed:10543876, PubMed:10706635, PubMed:11735396, PubMed:11587640, PubMed:16700548, PubMed:28291250). Interacts with PDLIM4 isoform 2; this interaction stabilizes PDLIM4 isoform 2 in response to oxidative stress and protects it from ubiquitin-independent degradation by the core 20S proteasome (PubMed:21636573). Interacts with TP73 (via SAM domain); this interaction is NADH-dependent, stabilizes TP73 in response to oxidative stress and protects it from ubiquitin-independent degradation by the 20S proteasome (PubMed:28291250, PubMed:15687255). Interacts with TP53; this interaction is NADH-dependent, stabilizes TP53 in response to oxidative stress and protects it from ubiquitin-independent degradation by the 20S proteasome (PubMed:15687255).
