Rabbit Anti-MOCOS/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
MOCOS sulfurates the molybdenum cofactor of xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH; MIM 607633) and aldehyde oxidase (AOX1; MIM 602841), which is required for their enzymatic activities (Ichida et al., 2001 [PubMed 11302742]).[supplied by OMIM, Feb 2010]
Function:
Sulfurates the molybdenum cofactor. Sulfation of molybdenum is essential for xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) and aldehyde oxidase (ADO) enzymes in which molybdenum cofactor is liganded by 1 oxygen and 1 sulfur atom in active form.
DISEASE:
Defects in MOCOS are the cause of xanthinuria type 2 (XU2) [MIM:603592]. Xanthinuria is characterized by excretion of very large amounts of xanthine in the urine and a tendency to form xanthine stones. Uric acid is strikingly diminished in serum and urine. In addition, patient suffering of XU2 cannot metabolize allopurinol into oxypurinol due to dual deficiency of xanthine dehydrogenase and aldehyde oxidase.
Similarity:
Belongs to the class-V pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
MOCOS subfamily.
Contains 1 MOSC domain.
