Uric Acid (UA) Fluorometric Assay Kit

Uric acid, a purine metabolite, is degraded into allantoin by uricase in most mammals. Due to the absence of urate oxidase gene, uric acid is the final product of purine metabolism in humans, so the level of uric acid in human blood is higher than that in most mammals. Uric acid is a physiologically important plasma antioxidant that effectively protects biological targets from the oxidation of hydroxyl radicals, hypochloric acid and peroxynitrite.
