Several rare genetic variations of human XDH have been shown to alter xanthine oxidoreductase
(XOR) activity leading to impaired purine catabolism. However, XOR is a multi-functional enzyme
that depending upon the environmental conditions also expresses oxidase activity leading to
both O2·- and H2O2 and nitrite (·NO2-) reductase activity leading to NO. Since these products
express important, and often diametrically opposite, biological activity considerat...
