NQO1 (NAD(P)H:Quinone acceptor oxidoreductase type1) catalyzes the two-electron reduction of quinones to hydroquinones (Faig et al, 2000). This reaction bypasses the one electron reduction of these substrates by P450 reductase, which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and consequent stress and damage (reviewed in Ross and Siegel, 2021). NQO1 expression is upregulated by NFE2L2 and MAFK binding to the antioxidant response element (ARE) in the promoter in response to stimulus by phase II inducers (oxidative and electrophillic stressors) (Itoh et al, 1997; McMahon et al, 2001). These inducers activate the NFE2L2-KEAP1 pathway, stabilizing NFE2L2 and allowing it to enter the nucleus to activate expression of target genes (reviewed in Baird and Yamamoto, 2000)
