Summary | 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 is involved in purine degradation and functions as both a dehydrogenase and an oxidase. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]. |
