Xanthine dioxygenase
Definition:
EC Tree > 1 Oxidoreductases > 1.14 Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen > 1.14.11 With 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into each donor > 1.14.11.48 xanthine dioxygenase
Xanthine dioxygenase is an Fe2+- and L-ascorbate-dependent 2-oxoglutarate oxygenase characterized from fungi, specific for xanthine. It oxidizes xanthine to urate, releasing succinate and CO2.
