motifs/domains
  • a specific metal binding site, which is not present in NQO1
  • two histidine nitrogens, one cysteine thiol, and a main chain carbonyl group are involved in metal coordination
  • conjugated FlavoP , PhosphoP
    mono polymer homomer , dimer

    Susceptibility to schizophrenia
    Variant & Polymorphism insertion/deletion deletion of the 29 base pair sequence in the promoter may confer susceptibility to a certain form of schizophrenia
    Candidate gene
    Marker
    Therapy target
  • therapeutic target in ovarian carcinoma, because the addition of the nonbiogenic electron donor dihydronicotinamide riboside (NRH) selectively potentiates the bioactivation of the alkylating agent tretazicar
  • potential target of the quinoline antimalarial compounds
  • ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
