Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including anion binding activity; dihydronicotinamide riboside quinone reductase activity; and melatonin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; positive regulation of neuron apoptotic process; and positive regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; agranulocytosis; breast cancer; and breast carcinoma. Orthologous to human NQO2 (N-ribosyldihydronicotinamide:quinone reductase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
