Xanthine oxidase(CAS: 9002-17-9)

Xanthine oxidase (CAS: 9002-17-9) is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of purines, particularly in the conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine and then to uric acid. It is a key enzyme in the purine catabolism pathway.

Xanthine oxidase (CAS: 9002-17-9) is primarily used in research for studying purine metabolism and its role in various physiological and pathological processes. It is also used in the development of therapeutic agents targeting purine metabolism disorders.

Xanthine oxidase (CAS: 9002-17-9) is generally considered safe for research purposes when handled with appropriate biosafety measures. However, it should be used according to safety guidelines to avoid any potential health risks.

Xanthine oxidase (CAS: 9002-17-9) should be stored at a temperature of 2-8°C to maintain its activity. It should be kept in a dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight and protected from freezing. The enzyme should be stored in a sterile container with a tightly sealed lid to prevent contamination.
