The Good and the Bad: The Bifunctional Enzyme Xanthine Oxidoreductase in the Production of Reactive Oxygen Species
Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is a molybdoflavin enzyme which occurs in two forms; the reduced form known as xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH, EC 1.17.1.4) and the oxidised form known as xanthine oxidase (XO, EC 1.17.3.2). In humans, it is a 293 kDa homodimer which catalyses consecutive hydroxylation ste...
