Xanthine oxidase

Xanthine oxidase is mainly involved in the decomposition and metabolism of nucleic acids in the body, and can also be used to promote the absorption and circulation of iron.

1. Participate in the decomposition and metabolism of nucleic acids in the body: Uric acid in the human body is mainly caused by factors of cell metabolism. The nucleic acids and other purine substances decomposed by cell metabolism, as well as purines in food, are likely to be decomposed by enzymes. Under the action of xanthine oxidase, hypoxanthine oxygen can be promptly converted into xanthine, and xanthine is oxidized into uric acid. If the level of xanthine oxidase is too high, it is likely to cause uric acid to accumulate in the body, and in severe cases, arthritis may occur.

2. Promote the absorption and circulation of iron: Xanthine oxidase is mainly found in the small intestinal mucosal cells. It can be used to promote the absorption and circulation of iron. It can oxidize the ferrous ions absorbed from food into ferric ions, and can be transported to various tissues throughout the body in time. It is particularly important for the health of the body.

The main characteristic of xanthine oxidase is that it can oxidize xanthine and aldehydes. Xanthine oxidase is a low-professional product that is mainly used to catalyze hypoxanthine to produce xanthine, which can then form uric acid. It mainly exists in the liver and kidneys of dairy animals and birds, and also in insects and bacteria.
