NQO1 Cancer Research Results

NQO1, NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
NQO1 has attracted interest due to its roles in cell defense and marked inducibility during cellular stress. Since NQO1 is highly expressed in many solid tumors, including via upregulation of Nrf2, the design of compounds activated by NQO1 and NQO1-targeted drug delivery have been active areas of research.
NQO1 (NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1) is an enzyme that plays a significant role in cellular defense against oxidative stress and the metabolism of various compounds, including quinones and other electrophiles. Its function is crucial in protecting cells from damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and in the detoxification of potentially harmful substances.
