'''Xanthine oxidase''' ('''XO''', sometimes 'XAO') is a form of '''[[xanthine oxidoreductase]]''', a type of [[enzyme]] that generates [[reactive oxygen species]].<ref>{{cite journal | author=Ardan T, Kovaceva J, Cejková J | title=Comparative histochemical and immunohistochemical study on xanthine oxidoreductase/xanthine oxidase in mammalian corneal epithelium | journal=Acta Histochem | volume=106 | issue=1 | year=2004 | pages=69–75  | doi=10.1016/j.acthis.2003.08.001 |  pmid=15032331 }}</ref> These enzymes catalyze the [[oxidation]] of [[hypoxanthine]] to [[xanthine]] and can further catalyze the oxidation of xanthine to [[uric acid]].  These enzymes play an important role in the catabolism of purines in some species, including humans.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Hille R |title=Molybdenum-containing hydroxylases |journal=Arch.

Xanthine oxidase is defined as an ''enzyme activity'' (EC 1.17.3.2).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_bget?ec:1.17.3.2|title=KEGG record for EC 1.17.3.2}}</ref>  The same protein, which in humans has the [[HGNC]] approved gene symbol ''XDH'', can also have [[xanthine dehydrogenase]] activity (EC 1.17.1.4).<ref name="KEGG record for EC 1.17.1.4">{{cite web|url=http://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_bget?ec:1.17.1.4|title=KEGG record for EC 1.17.1.4}}</ref>  Most of the protein in the liver exists in a form with xanthine dehydrogenase activity, but it can be converted to xanthine oxidase by reversible sulfhydryl oxidation or by irreversible proteolytic modification.<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: XDH xanthine dehydrogenase| url =http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=7498| accessdate = }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.omim.org/entry/607633?search=xanthine%20dehydrogenase&highlight=xanthine%20dehydrogenase|title=*607633 XANTHINE DEHYDROGENASE; XDH}}</ref>
 
==Reaction==
The following chemical reactions are catalyzed by xanthine oxidase:
* hypoxanthine + H<sub>2</sub>O + O<sub>2</sub> <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> xanthine + H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>
* xanthine + H<sub>2</sub>O + O<sub>2</sub> <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> uric acid + H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>
* Xanthine oxidase can also act on certain other purines, pterins, and aldehydes.  For example, it efficiently converts 1-methylxanthine (a metabolite of [[caffeine]]) to 1-methyluric acid, but has little activity on 3-methylxanthine.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2042732/pdf/bcp_0537.pdf|title=1-Methylxanthine derived from caffeine as a pharmacodynamic probe of oxypurinol effect|author=D.

==Protein structure==
The protein is large, having a [[molecular weight]] of 270 kDa, and has 2 [[Flavin group|flavin]] molecules (bound as FAD), 2 [[molybdenum]] atoms, and 8 [[iron]] atoms bound per enzymatic unit.  The molybdenum atoms are contained as [[molybdopterin]] cofactors and are the active sites of the enzyme.  The iron atoms are part of [2Fe-2S] [[ferredoxin]] [[iron-sulfur cluster]]s and participate in electron transfer reactions.
 
==Catalytic mechanism==
The active site of XO is composed of a molybdopterin unit with the molybdenum atom also coordinated by terminal oxygen ([[oxo ligand|oxo]]), sulfur atoms and a terminal [[hydroxide]].<ref>{{cite journal

| pmid = 19788181}}</ref>  The reformation of the active molybdenum center occurs by the addition of water.  Like other known molybdenum-containing oxidoreductases, the oxygen atom introduced to the [[Substrate (biochemistry)|substrate]] by XO originates from water rather than from [[dioxygen]] (O<sub>2</sub>).
 
==Clinical significance==
Xanthine oxidase is a [[superoxide]]-producing enzyme found normally in [[Serum (blood)|serum]] and the lungs, and its activity is increased during [[Influenza A virus|influenza A]] infection.<ref>http://www.colorado.edu/intphys/iphy3700/vitCHemila92.pdf</ref>
 
During severe liver damage, xanthine oxidase is released into the blood, so a blood assay for XO is a way to determine if [[liver]] damage has happened.{{citation needed|date=July 2012}}
 
As well, because xanthine oxidase is a [[metabolic pathway]] for [[uric acid]] formation, the xanthine oxidase inhibitor [[allopurinol]] is used in the treatment of [[gout]]. Since xanthine oxidase is involved in the metabolism of [[6-mercaptopurine]], caution should be taken before administering allopurinol and 6-mercaptopurine, or its prodrug [[azathioprine]], in conjunction.
 
[[Xanthinuria]] is a rare [[genetic disorder]] where the lack of xanthine oxidase leads to high concentration of xanthine in blood and can cause health problems such as [[renal failure]]. There is no specific treatment, sufferers are advised by doctors to avoid foods high in [[purine]] and to maintain a high fluid intake.  Type I xanthinuria has been traced directly to mutations of the ''XDH'' gene which mediates xanthine oxidase activity.  Type II xanthinuria may result from a failure of the mechanism which inserts sulfur into the active sites of xanthine oxidase and [[aldehyde oxidase]], a related enzyme with some overlapping activities (such as conversion of [[allopurinol]] to [[oxypurinol]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.omim.org/entry/603592?search=type%20II%20xanthinuria&highlight=ii%20xanthinuria%20type|title=OMIM: Xanthinuria type II}}</ref>
 
Inhibition of xanthine oxidase has been proposed as a mechanism for improving cardiovascular health.<ref name="pmid21894646">{{cite journal |author=Dawson J, Walters M |title=Uric acid and xanthine oxidase: future therapeutic targets in the prevention of cardiovascular disease? |journal=British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology |volume= 62|issue= 6|pages= 633|date=October 2006 |pmid=21894646 |pmc=1885190 |doi=10.1111/j.1365-2125.2006.02785.x}}</ref>
 
Both xanthine oxidase and xanthine [[oxidoreductase]] are also present in [[cornea]]l epithelium and endothelium and may be involved in oxidative eye injury.<ref name="pmid12168784">{{cite journal |author=Cejková J, Ardan T, Filipec M, Midelfart A |title=Xanthine oxidoreductase and xanthine oxidase in human cornea |journal=[[Histol.
