EC number

1.6.5.2

Accepted name

NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone)

Reaction

NAD(P)H + H⁺ + a quinone = NAD(P)⁺ + a hydroquinone

Other name(s)

menadione reductase, phylloquinone reductase, quinone reductase, dehydrogenase, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate, quinone), DT-diaphorase, flavoprotein NAD(P)H-quinone reductase, menadione oxidoreductase, NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, NAD(P)H menadione reductase, NAD(P)H-quinone dehydrogenase, NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase, NAD(P)H: (quinone-acceptor)oxidoreductase, NAD(P)H: menadione oxidoreductase, NADH-menadione reductase, naphthoquinone reductase, p-benzoquinone reductase, reduced NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, viologen accepting pyridine nucleotide oxidoreductase, vitamin K reductase, diaphorase, reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) dehydrogenase, vitamin-K reductase, NAD(P)H₂ dehydrogenase (quinone), NQO1, QR1, NAD(P)H:(quinone-acceptor) oxidoreductase

Systematic name

NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

9032-20-6

Comment

A flavoprotein. The enzyme catalyses a two-electron reduction and has a preference for short-chain acceptor quinones, such as ubiquinone, benzoquinone, juglone and duroquinone [6]. The animal, but not the plant, form of the enzyme is inhibited by dicoumarol.

History

created 1961, transferred 1965 to EC 1.6.99.2, transferred 2005 to EC 1.6.5.2
