Elaborate on the fate of uric acid in the degradation of purine nucleotides
Elaborate on the Fate of Uric Acid in the Degradation of Purine Nucleotides Uric acid is the final product of purine nucleotide degradation in humans and other primates. Unlike many other mammals, humans lack the enzyme uricase, which converts uric acid into the more soluble allantoin. This makes uric acid excretion crucial in maintaining nitrogen […]
