General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid to 5-hydroxyisourate, which spontaneously decomposes to form allantoin.

Catalytic activity

Urate + O2 + H2O = 5-hydroxyisourate + H2O2.

Pathway

Purine metabolism; uric acid degradation; (S)-allantoin from uric acid: step 1/3.

Subcellular location

Peroxisome.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the uricase family.
