protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Gene data

NQO2

Name: N-ribosyldihydronicotinamide:quinone dehydrogenase 2
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: DHQV, DIA6, NMOR2, QR2

This gene encodes a member of the thioredoxin family of enzymes. It is a cytosolic and ubiquitously expressed flavoprotein that catalyzes the two-electron reduction of quinone substrates and uses dihydronicotinamide riboside as a reducing coenzyme. Mutations in this gene have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases and several cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014].
