Xanthine-agarose is used for protein chromatography, affinity chromatography and specialty resins. Xanthine-agarose has been used to purify and determine molecular properties of urate oxidase from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Xanthine-agarose has also been used to determine physicochemical properties and states of sulfhydryl groups of uricase from Candida utilis.
Urate oxidase (Uox) catalyses the first reaction of oxidative uricolysis, a three-step enzymatic pathway that allows some animals to eliminate purine nitrogen through a water-soluble compound. Inactivation of the pathway in hominoids leads to elevated levels of sparingly soluble urate
Uricase (urate: oxygen oxidoreductase; EC 1.7.3.3) from the rust Puccinia recondita was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. Preparations with a specific activity of 8.4 U/mg were used for characterization of the enzyme, which showed a strong similarity to other plant and

Highly purified uricase [urate: oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.7.3.3] was obtained from Candida utilis by affinity chromatography with xanthine-agarose conjugate followed by chromatography with Sephadex G-200 in the presence of dithiothreitol. The uricase molecule had a molecular weight of 120,000 and
