A number of investigators have applied the tools of molecular biology to characterize genes responsible for the control of urate homeostasis and clarify the roles of uric acid precursors in inflammation. Some, using the tools of clinical medicine, continue to provide novel descriptions of gout and to explore better ways for evaluating hyperuricemia and for understanding the pathophysiology of disorders such as familial urate nephropathy. Others link the disciplines of basic research and clinical medicine in approaching the perplexing questions of crystal-induced inflammation.

D014527 Uric Acid An oxidation product, via XANTHINE OXIDASE, of oxypurines such as XANTHINE and HYPOXANTHINE. It is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates, whereas in most other mammals URATE OXIDASE further oxidizes it to ALLANTOIN. 2,6,8-Trihydroxypurine,Ammonium Acid Urate,Monosodium Urate,Monosodium Urate Monohydrate,Potassium Urate,Sodium Acid Urate,Sodium Acid Urate Monohydrate,Sodium Urate,Sodium Urate Monohydrate,Trioxopurine,Urate,Acid Urate, Ammonium,Acid Urate, Sodium,Acid, Uric,Monohydrate, Monosodium Urate,Monohydrate, Sodium Urate,Urate Monohydrate, Monosodium,Urate Monohydrate, Sodium,Urate, Ammonium Acid,Urate, Monosodium,Urate, Potassium,Urate, Sodium,Urate, Sodium Acid
