Natural mutations of human <i>XDH</i> promote the nitrite (NO <sub>2</sub> <sup>-</sup> )-reductase capacity of xanthine oxidoreductase: a novel mechanism to promote redox health?
2023-03-24
Abstract excerpt
Several rare genetic variations of human XDH have been shown to alter xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activity leading to impaired purine catabolism. However, XOR is a multi-functional enzyme that depending upon the environmental conditions also expresses oxidase activity leading to both O ·- and H O and nitrite (·NO - ) reductase activity leading to NO. Since these products express important, and often diametric...
