Tree Number(s): D08.811.682.047.928
Unique ID: D014969
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014969
Annotation: /defic: consider also XANTHINES /‌urine (IM) + PURINE-PYRIMIDINE METABOLISM, INBORN ERRORS (IM)
Scope Note: An iron-molybdenum flavoprotein containing FLAVIN-ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE that oxidizes hypoxanthine, some other purines and pterins, and aldehydes. Deficiency of the enzyme, an autosomal recessive trait, causes xanthinuria.
