Summary: Enables urate oxidase activity. Involved in several processes, including purine nucleobase catabolic process; purine nucleoside catabolic process; and purine nucleoside monophosphate catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in peroxisome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study hyperuricemia; kidney disease; and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Orthologous to human UOX (urate oxidase (pseudogene)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
