NQO1 Immunizing Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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]
Uniprot Description
NQO1: a FAD-binding flavoprotein enzyme that that prevents the one electron reduction of quinones that results in the production of radical species. Involved in detoxification pathways as well as in biosynthetic processes such as the vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylation of glutamate residues in prothrombin synthesis. Mutations have been associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD), an increased risk of hematotoxicity after exposure to benzene, and susceptibility to various forms of cancer. The expression of NQO1 is increased in liver, colon and breast tumors and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared with the normal tissues. Moreover, expression levels are also elevated in developing tumors, suggesting a role for NQ01 in the prevention of tumor development. A homozygous common missense variant (NQO1(*)2, rs1800566(T)), that disables NQO1 strongly predicts poor survival among two independent series of women with breast cancer. Studies on NQO1 knockout mice suggest that the lack of NQO1 enzymatic activity changes intracellular redox states resulting in a reduction in apoptosis, which in turn leads to myeloid hyperplasia of bone marrow. Altered expression is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibited by dicoumarol. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
