Gene information for PON1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5444
Official gene symbolPON1
Full nameparaoxonase 1
Aliases,ESA,MVCD5,PON,
Gene summaryThe enzyme encoded by this gene is an arylesterase that mainly hydrolyzes paroxon to produce p-nitrophenol. Paroxon is an organophosphorus anticholinesterase compound that is produced in vivo by oxidation of the insecticide parathion. Polymorphisms in this gene are a risk factor in coronary artery disease. The gene is found in a cluster of three related paraoxonase genes at 7q21.3. [provided by RefSeq]
