DT-diaphorase
Coenzyme Q10

NAD/P/H_dehydrogenase_quinone_1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NQO1 gene.¹ This protein-coding gene is a member of the NADH dehydrogenase (quinone) family and encodes a 2-electron reductase (enzyme). This FAD-binding protein forms homodimers and performs two-electron reduction of quinones to hydroquinones and of other redox dyes. It has a preference for short-chain acceptor quinones, such as ubiquinone, benzoquinone, juglone and duroquinone.² This gene has an important paralog NQO2. This protein is located in the cytosol.

NQO1 enzyme expression can be induced by dioxin and inhibited by dicoumarol

DT-diaphorase

The two-electron quinone reductase DT-diaphorase generates and maintains the antioxidant (reduced) form of coenzyme Q in membranes. 1997

The role of DT-diaphorase in the maintenance of the reduced antioxidant form of coenzyme Q in membrane systems. 1996

Addition of NADH and DT-diaphorase to either large unilamellar or multilamellar vesicles containing homologs of CoQ, including CoQ9 and CoQ10, resulted in the essentially complete reduction of the CoQ.
