MSE PRO Uricase
SKU: BO0190
MSE PRO™ Uricase
The MSE PRO™ Uricase is an enzyme that primarily catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid to 5-hydroxy-2,6-diamino-4-pyrrolidone and carbon dioxide. Uricase is an enzyme found in a wide range of organisms and is primarily involved in the uric acid metabolic pathway. It catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid and converts uric acid into other metabolites. Uricase oxidizes uric acid to 5-hydroxy-2,6-diamino-4-pyrrolidinone with the production of carbon dioxide. Uricase facilitates the reaction by means of a catalyst in the active site that provides the required energy and conditions.
