Xanthine oxidase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in purine metabolism, catalyzing the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and subsequently xanthine to uric acid. It is a molybdenum-containing enzyme that is primarily found in the liver and is involved in the catabolism of purines, which are essential components of nucleic acids. The enzyme operates through a complex mechanism that involves the transfer of electrons and the generation of reactive oxygen species. Xanthine oxidase is significant in clinical contexts, particularly in the management of gout, as it is responsible for the production of uric acid, whose accumulation can lead to this condition. Inhibitors of xanthine oxidase, such as allopurinol, are commonly used to reduce uric acid levels in patients. Additionally, xanthine oxidase has been studied for its potential role in various diseases due to its involvement in oxidative stress and inflammation. Its CAS number, 9002-17-9, identifies it in chemical databases, facilitating research and regulatory processes.
