ID:QORX_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Quinone oxidoreductase PIG3; EC=1.-.-.-; AltName: Full=Tumor protein p53-inducible protein 3; AltName: Full=p53-induced gene 3 protein; FUNCTION: May be involved in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Has low NADPH-dependent beta-naphthoquinone reductase activity, with a preference for 1,2-beta-naphthoquinone over 1,4-beta-naphthoquinone. Has low NADPH-dependent diamine reductase activity (in vitro). BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES: Kinetic parameters: KM=215 uM for 1,2-naphthoquinone; SUBUNIT: Homodimer. INDUCTION: Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are both activated by p53/TP53, doxorubicin, etoposide and ionizing radiation. Isoform 2 is highly activated by UV radiation. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. Quinone oxidoreductase subfamily. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAC39535.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; WEB RESOURCE: Name=NIEHS-SNPs; URL="http://egp.gs.washington.edu/data/tp53i3/";
