代谢
黄嘌呤很容易转化为尿酸。黄嘌呤氧化酶从黄嘌呤和次黄嘌呤制造尿酸,而这些物质又是从其他嘌呤产生的。在人类和高等灵长类动物中,尿酸是嘌呤代谢的最终氧化(分解)产物,并通过尿液排出。
Xanthine is readily converted to uric acid. The enzyme xanthine oxidase makes uric acid from xanthine and hypoxanthine, which in turn are produced from other purines. In humans and higher primates, uric acid is the final oxidation (breakdown) product of purine metabolism and is excreted in urine.
