Urate oxidase

Description:
Urate oxidase, also known as uricase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid to allantoin, facilitating the breakdown of purines in the body. It is primarily found in certain microorganisms and some mammals, but humans lack this enzyme, which can lead to elevated levels of uric acid and conditions such as gout. The enzyme operates optimally at specific pH and temperature ranges, which can vary depending on the source organism. Urate oxidase is of significant interest in medical applications, particularly in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout, as it can help lower uric acid levels in patients. The enzyme is typically produced through recombinant DNA technology for therapeutic use, ensuring a consistent and high-quality product. Additionally, urate oxidase has been studied for its potential in various biotechnological applications, including biosensors and bioremediation. Its CAS number, 9002-12-4, identifies it in chemical databases, facilitating research and regulatory processes.
