Gene Symbol
PON1

ESA, MVCD5, PON
 
Entrez Gene ID
 
Gene Name
Paraoxonase 1
 
Chromosomal Location
7q21.3
 
HGNC ID
 
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the paraoxonase family of enzymes and exhibits lactonase and ester hydrolase activity. Following synthesis in the kidney and liver, the enzyme is secreted into the circulation, where it binds to high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles and hydrolyzes thiolactones and xenobiotics, including paraoxon, a metabolite of the insecticide parathion. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with coronary artery disease and diabetic retinopathy. The gene is found in a cluster of three related paraoxonase genes on chromosome 7.

Protein Information
 
Protein Name
Serum paraoxonase/arylesterase 1, A-esterase 1, K-45, PON 1, aromatic esterase 1, arylesterase 1, arylesterase B-type, esterase A, paraoxonase B-type, serum aryldiakylphosphatase, serum aryldialkylphosphatase 1
 
Function
Hydrolyzes the toxic metabolites of a variety of organophosphorus insecticides. Capable of hydrolyzing a broad spectrum of organophosphate substrates and lactones, and a number of aromatic carboxylic acid esters. Mediates an enzymatic protection of low density lipoproteins against oxidative modification and the consequent series of events leading to atheroma formation

PCOS 
192Q/R, 55L/M 
 
Related 
1113 subjects of Chinese Han nationality in Chengdu area (610 patients with PCOS and 503 control women) 
The 192Q/R, but not 55L/M, polymorphism in PON1 gene is associated with the risk of PCOS in south-west Chinese women 
 
PCOS 
-108C/T, 192Q/R, and 55L/M 
 
Direct 
455 PCOS patients, 441 control women 
The serum lactonase activities and concentrations of PON1 are increased in PCOS patients. The increased oxidative stress and the -108C/T, 192Q/R, and 55L/M genetic polymorphisms of PON1 may be associated with these changes 
 
PCOS 
c.-108C>T (PON1-108), c.163T>A (PON1-55), c.575A>G (PON1-192) 
 
Direct 
142 PCOS cases,112 controls 
The decreased PON1 activity-associated PON1-108 TT and the PON1-192 RR genotypes are more frequently found in GreekPCOS women and are associated with hyperandrogenaemia. 
 
PCOS 
-108 C/T 
 
Related 
346 Chinese patients with PCOS and 315 Chinese control women 
This study indicated that the -108 C/T polymorphism in the promoter of PON1 gene was associated with hormonal levels, glucose metabolism and oxidative stress in the control women, but not associated with PCOS in Chinese women of Chengdu area

31 PCOS, 33 controls 
Decreased PON1 activity might contribute to an increased propensity for the development of cardiovascular disease in women withPCOS in addition to known risk factors, such as insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia and increased oxidative stress
