{"symbol":"NQO2","synonyms":["DIA6","NMOR2","DHQV","QR2"],"name":"NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, quinone 2","description":"This gene encodes a member of the thioredoxin family of enzymes. 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.
