LITERATURE
agriculture
-
treatment of normal fruit in linear phase of growth with enzyme inhibitors allopurinol or adenine arrests fruit growth
analysis
-
use of rosy mutant strains to probe structure and function of xanthine dehydrogenase
biotechnology
-
the enzyme can be useful in biotechnlogical applications requiring special conditions, e.g. extreme pH values
environmental protection
medicine
molecular biology
isozyme XDH1 has the potential to be used as a metabolic target for controlling populations of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are vectors of public health threats
nutrition
-
xanthine oxidoreductase associated with milk phospholipid membranes is found to be distributed among an intra-membranous pool in which it takes the form of a mixture of xanthine oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase, with a clear predominance of xanthine dehydrogenase, and a free pool of xanthine oxidase, of which 33% is found in the outer surface of milk fat globule membrane, 20.5% in the outer surface of whey membrane particles, and the remaining 46.7% in apparent solution. The inner-membrane xanthine oxidoreductase may play a nonenzymatic role in fat secretion, whereas extramembranous xanthine oxidase is freely available for a role in the innate gland immune system and may affect milk quality
