Urate oxidase

Pseudogene in the species Homo sapiens

The enzyme urate oxidase (UO), uricase or factor-independent urate hydroxylase, absent in humans, catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid to 5-hydroxyisourate:Uric acid + O2 + H2O → 5-hydroxyisourate + H2O2 5-hydroxyisourate + H2O → 2-oxo-4-hydroxy-4-carboxy-5-ureidoimidazoline 2-oxo-4-hydroxy-4-carboxy-5-ureidoimidazoline → allantoin + CO2
