NQO1

Gastrointestinal & Hepatic System · Phase I & Phase II Xenobiotic Detoxification

What does NQO1 do to limit chemical stress in cells?

NQO1 helps convert quinones through a reaction that avoids some radical-producing intermediate steps. This protective chemistry does not mean a genotype can measure your total oxidative stress.

Common Gene Name: NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1
