Application
Uricase may be used for the determination of uric acid in biological fluids. It may be helpful in the spectrophotometric determination of purines and purine nucleosides.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Uricase catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid to 5-hydroxyisourate, which subsequently forms (S)-allantoin. It is involved in purine metabolism, urate degradation and (S)-allantoin formation .
Other Notes
For the determination of uric acid in biological fluids; In the spectrophotometric determination of purines and purine nucleosides.
