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]. * **UniProt Summary**: The enzyme apparently serves as a quinone reductase in connection with conjugation reactions of hydroquinones involved in detoxification pathways as well as in biosynthetic processes such as the vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylation of glutamate residues in prothrombin synthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18254726}. |Flavodoxin 2| |FMN red| |melatonin binding| |resveratrol binding| |dihydronicotinamide riboside quinone reductase activity| |oxidoreductase activity, acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors| |NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone) activity| |chloride ion binding| |FAD binding| |positive regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation| |regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation| |positive regulation of neuron apoptotic process| |electron transfer activity| |positive regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation| |positive regulation of neuron death| |positive regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolic process| |memory| |oxidoreductase activity| |xenobiotic metabolic process| |regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation| |regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolic process| |electron transport chain| |cellular response to xenobiotic stimulus| |regulation of neuron apoptotic process| |positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade| |learning or memory| |regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade| |cognition| |response to xenobiotic stimulus| |regulation of neuron death| |generation of precursor metabolites and energy| |positive regulation of MAPK cascade| |behavior| |positive regulation of apoptotic process| |positive regulation of programmed cell death| |positive regulation of cell death| |regulation of MAPK cascade| |zinc ion binding| |protein homodimerization activity| |positive regulation of cell population proliferation| |oxidation-reduction process| |positive regulation of protein phosphorylation| |positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction| |positive regulation of phosphorylation| |positive regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |positive regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |positive regulation of protein modification process| |nervous system process| |regulation of protein phosphorylation| |regulation of apoptotic process| |regulation of programmed cell death| |regulation of phosphorylation| |positive regulation of cellular protein metabolic process| |regulation of cell population proliferation| |positive regulation of signal transduction| |regulation of cell death| |positive regulation of protein metabolic process| |regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |positive regulation of cell communication| |positive regulation of signaling| |regulation of intracellular signal transduction| |regulation of protein modification process| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
