ENZYME entry: EC 1.7.3.3

Accepted Name
factor independent urate hydroxylase
Alternative Name(s)
urate oxidase
uric acid oxidase
uricase
uricase II
Reaction catalysed
H2O + O2 + urate = 5-hydroxyisourate + H2O2
Comment(s)
  • Was previously thought to be a copper protein, but it is now known that the enzymes from soybean (Glycine max), the mold Aspergillus flavus and Bacillus subtilis contains no copper nor any other transition-metal ion.
  • The 5-hydroxyisourate formed decomposes spontaneously to form allantoin and CO2, although there is an enzyme-catalyzed pathway in which EC 3.5.2.17 catalyzes the first step.
  • The enzyme is different from EC 1.14.13.113.
