Association of Mutations Identified in Xanthinuria with the Function and Inhibition Mechanism of Xanthine Oxidoreductase
20 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is an enzyme that catalyzes the two-step reaction from hypoxanthine to xanthine and from xanthine to uric acid in purine metabolism. XOR generally carries dehydrogenase activity (XDH) but is converted into an oxidase (XO) under various pathophysiologic conditions. The complex structure and enzymatic function of XOR have been well investigated by mutagenesis studies of mammalian XOR...
