Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP01041
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 6330
Name Quinone oxidoreductase
Synonyms
  1. NADPH:quinone reductase
  2. Zeta-crystallin
Gene Name CRYZ
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in zinc ion binding
Specific Function Does not have alcohol dehydrogenase activity. Binds NADP and acts through a one-electron transfer process. Orthoquinones, such as 1,2-naphthoquinone or 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, are the best substrates (in vitro). May act in the detoxification of xenobiotics. Interacts with (AU)-rich elements (ARE) in the 3'-UTR of target mRNA species. Enhances the stability of mRNA coding for BCL2. NADPH binding interferes with mRNA binding.
