Subcellular location

Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm.

Function

Function:
The enzyme apparently serves as a quinone reductase in connection with conjugation reactions of hydroquinons involved in detoxification pathways as well as in biosynthetic processes such as the vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylation of glutamate residues in prothrombin synthesis.
Catalytic Activity:
NAD(P)H + a quinone = NAD(P)(+) + a hydroquinone.
Cofactor:
COFACTOR: Name=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692;
Enzyme Regulation:
ENZYME REGULATION: Inhibited by dicoumarol.
