CAS 69-93-2: Uric acid

Uric acid

Applications Isotope labelled Uric Acid is a heterocyclcic compound that is created when purine nucleotides are broken down of by the human body. High blood concetration of Uric Acid is known as hyperuricemia and is often associated with a wide range of disorders and medical conditions such as gout, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Uric acid may be a marker of oxidative stress and may have a potential therapeutic role as an antioxidant. References Heinig, M. et al.: Cle. Clin. J.

Uric Acid

Uric acid acts as a strong reducing agent (electron donors) and potent antioxidant. It is used as a precursor in cell culture systems and in cosmetics. Further, it is useful for serum-free medium supplement. In addition to this, it is used as a reagent in the determination of uricase and tungstate.

The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

For the quantitative enzymatic determination of uric acid in serum. Uric acid measurements are useful in the diagnosis of numerous renal and metabolic disorders. Uric acid is a substrate for the enzyme uricase. Uric acid is oxidized by oxygen in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme uricase forming hydrogen peroxide and allantoin. Production of hydrogen peroxide can be assayed by 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) in combination with 2-hydroxy-3,5-dichloro-benzenesulfonate (HDCBS) in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) through the production of an intensely red dye.

Uric Acid (Lithic acid) is an oxidation product of oxypurines. Uric Acid is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates.
