TP53I3 (PIG3) possesses a NADPH quinone reductase activity, with 1,2-naphthoquinone being its preferred substrate. TP53I3 reduces 1,2-naphthoquinone to a highly unstable semiquinone free radical. Semiquinone reacts with oxygen yielding a quinone and superoxide aninon. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced as a result of TP53I3 activity contribute to apoptosis (Porte et al. 2009).
