Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone) activity and NADH:ubiquinone reductase (non-electrogenic) activity. Involved in several processes, including protein polyubiquitination; response to lipopolysaccharide; and vitamin K metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of catalytic activity and response to oxidative stress. Is active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in heart; liver; main olfactory bulb; olfactory epithelium; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including hematologic cancer (multiple); hypertension; lung disease (multiple); macular degeneration; and small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human NQO1 (NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1).
