Summary: Enables xanthine dehydrogenase activity. Involved in several processes, including alpha-amino acid metabolic process; determination of adult lifespan; and nucleobase metabolic process. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; endoderm anlage; germline cell; gut section; and mesoderm. Used to study xanthinuria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Lesch-Nyhan syndrome; artery disease (multiple); chronic kidney disease; hyperuricemia; and xanthinuria type I. Orthologous to several human genes including XDH (xanthine dehydrogenase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
