Recombinant Human Ecto-NOX disulfide-thiol exchanger 1 (ENOX1)

Uniprot Id

Q8TC92

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ENOX1

Target Full Name

Ecto-NOX disulfide-thiol exchanger 1

Target Function

Probably acts as a terminal oxidase of plasma electron transport from cytosolic NAD(P)H via hydroquinones to acceptors at the cell surface. Hydroquinone oxidase activity alternates with a protein disulfide-thiol interchange/oxidoreductase activity which may control physical membrane displacements associated with vesicle budding or cell enlargement. The activities oscillate with a period length of 24 minutes and play a role in control of the ultradian cellular biological clock.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane. Secreted, extracellular space. Note=Extracellular and plasma membrane-associated.

Target Protein Families

ENOX family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in lymphocyte cells, breast and breast cancer (at protein level). Found in the sera of cancer patients with a wide variety of cancers including breast, prostate, lung and ovarian cancers, leukemias, and lymphomas. Found also in the serum of heal

Target Synonyms

ENOX1; PIG38Ecto-NOX disulfide-thiol exchanger 1; Candidate growth-related and time keeping constitutive hydroquinone [NADH] oxidase; cCNOX; Cell proliferation-inducing gene 38 protein; Constitutive Ecto-NOX; cNOX) [Includes: Hydroquinone [NADH] oxidase; EC 1.-.-.-); Protein disulfide-thiol oxidoreductase; EC 1.-.-.-)]

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in plasma membrane electron transport pathways. The encoded protein has both a hydroquinone (NADH) oxidase activity and a protein disulfide-thiol interchange activity. The two activities cycle with a periodicity of 24 minutes, with one activity being at its peak when the other is at its lowest.
