Xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase

UniProt P47989 Organism Homo sapiens Gene XDH, XDHA EC 1.17.1.4, 1.17.3.2

Also known as: XDH, XDHA

Function

Key enzyme in purine degradation. Catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine. Catalyzes the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. Contributes to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Has also low oxidase activity towards aldehydes (in vitro).
