中文名称：黄嘌呤脱氢酶

种属: Mus musculus

同用名: XO; Xor; Xox1; Xox-1

关于 Xdh

功能概要

该基因编码黄嘌呤脱氢酶蛋白家族的一个成员。编码的蛋白质已被确定为基于其执行机械不同功能的能力的兼职蛋白质。编码的蛋白质以两种不同的酶促形式存在，即黄嘌呤脱氢酶或黄嘌呤氧化酶，并在嘌呤降解中发挥作用。其他研究还表明它在脂肪形成中的作用，以及在哺乳期乳腺的乳脂滴中作为结构蛋白的功能。 [RefSeq 提供，2014 年 1 月]

This gene encodes a member of the xanthine dehydrogenase protein family. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. The encoded protein exists as two distinct enzymatic forms, either as xanthine dehydrogenase, or as Xanthine Oxidase, and functions in purine degradation. Additional studies also suggest a role in adipogenesis, and a function as a structural protein in milk fat droplets in the lactating mammary gland. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
