Paraoxonase (PON) family C

Unless otherwise stated all data on this page refer to the human proteins. Gene information is provided for human (Hs), mouse (Mm) and rat (Rn).

Overview

Show »« Hide

Paraoxonases (PON) are calcium-dependent esterases, which may be involved in lipoprotein turnover and the conversion of lactone statin prodrugs, as well as being targets of organophosphates, such as the insecticide paraoxon.

Enzymes

PON1 (paraoxonase 1) C Show summary »« Hide summary

Target Id

3052

Nomenclature

paraoxonase 1

Common abbreviation

PON1

Previous and unofficial names

arylesterase 1 | ESA | esterase A

Genes

PON1 (Hs), Pon1 (Mm), Pon1 (Rn)

Ensembl ID

ENSG00000005421 (Hs), ENSRNOG00000008902 (Rn)

UniProtKB AC

P27169 (Hs), P52430 (Mm), P55159 (Rn)

EC number

3.1.1.2

Comment

PON1 forms homodimers. Loss-of-function mutations in PON1 are associated with microvascular complications of diabetes [2-3].
