ENZYME entry: EC 1.17.1.4

Accepted Name
xanthine dehydrogenase
Alternative Name(s)
NAD-xanthine dehydrogenase
xanthine/NAD(+) oxidoreductase
xanthine-NAD oxidoreductase
xanthine oxidoreductase
Reaction catalysed
H2O + NAD(+) + xanthine <=> H(+) + NADH + urate
Comment(s)
  • Acts on a variety of purines and aldehydes, including hypoxanthine.
  • The mammalian enzyme can also convert all-trans retinol to all-trans- retinoate, while the substrate is bound to a retinoid-binding protein.
  • The enzyme from eukaryotes contains [2Fe-2S], FAD and a molybdenum center.
  • The mammallian enzyme predominantly exists as the NAD-dependent dehydrogenase (EC 1.17.1.4).
  • During purification the enzyme is largely converted to an O2-dependent form, EC 1.17.3.2.
  • The conversion can be triggered by several mechanisms, including the oxidation of cysteine thiols to form disulfide bonds (which can be catalyzed by EC 1.8.4.7 in the presence of glutathione disulfide) or limited proteolysis, which results in irreversible conversion.
  • The conversion can also occur in vivo.
  • Formerly EC 1.1.1.204 and EC 1.2.1.37.
