Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Does not have alcohol dehydrogenase activity. Binds NADP and acts through a one-electron transfer process. Orthoquinones, such as 1,2-naphthoquinone or 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, are the best substrates (in vitro). May act in the detoxification of xenobiotics. Interacts with (AU)-rich elements (ARE) in the 3'-UTR of target mRNA species. Enhances the stability of mRNA coding for BCL2. NADPH binding interferes with mRNA binding. {ECO:0000269PubMed:17497241, ECO:0000269PubMed:20103721}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269PubMed:20103721}.
