General description
Research area: Cell Cycle
Xanthine Oxidase (XO), a versatile molybdoflavoprotein, is one of the forms of xanthine oxidoreductases (XORs). XO is characterized with two flavin molecules (FAD), two molybdenum atoms, and eight iron atoms bound per enzymatic unit.

Application
Xanthine Oxidase microbial has been used:
Biochem/physiol Actions
Xanthine Oxidase catalyzes the hydroxylation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid and oxygen free radicals during purine metabolism. This enzyme is also implicated in caffeine metabolism. XO also plays a vital role in the catabolism of xenobiotics including various drugs such as thiopurine drugs, containing 6-mercaptopurine, allopurinol, and uric acid. Excess of XO activity causes hyperuricemia (higher levels of uric acid in the blood), which further leads to gout.
Also contains proteolytic activity.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing BSA and sodium glutamate as stabilizers
Preparation Note
Tightly closed. Dry. Keep locked up or in an area accessible only to qualified or authorized

persons
Other Notes
One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of xanthine to uric acid per min at pH 7.5 at 25 °C. Approx. 50% of the activity is obtained with hypoxanthine as substrate.

For assay purposes, this product is prepared in 50 mM Potassium Phosphate Buffer, pH 7.5 at 25°C. The material is lyophilized from a solution containing BSA and sodium glutamate. While the solubility has not specifically been tested in sodium phosphate buffer, it is expected to be suitable. Please see the link below to review the assay protocol for this item:
