Protein attributes

Sequence length	329 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Does not have alcohol dehydrogenase activity. Binds NADP and acts through a one-electron transfer process. Orthoquinones are the best substrates. May act in the detoxification of xenobiotics.
Catalytic activity	NADPH + 2 quinone = NADP(+) + 2 semiquinone.
Subunit structure	Homotetramer.
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity	In guinea pigs it constitutes about 10% of the water soluble proteins of the lens.
Involvement in disease	A genomic mutation causing the deletion of 34 amino acids was clearly associated with a hereditary nuclear cataract in a line of strain 13 guinea pigs.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. Quinone oxidoreductase subfamily.
