Xanthine oxidase, Microorganism

• CAT Number: I042550
• CAS Number: 9002-17-9
• Purity: ≥95%

Xanthine oxidase from microorganisms (Cat No.: I042550) is an oxidoreductase enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid, producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) as byproducts. Sourced from microbial organisms for industrial and research applications, it is used in studying purine metabolism, oxidative stress, and related disease mechanisms such as gout and cardiovascular disorders. Its microbial origin allows for efficient production and purification, making it valuable in biochemical assays, drug screening, and environmental or biotechnological processes involving oxidative reactions.
