DescriptionUric acid is a heterocyclic compound produced by xanthine oxidase from xanthine and hypoxanthine, which in turn are produced from purine. In humans and higher primates, uric acid is the final oxidation product of purine metabolism and is excreted in urine. In birds and reptiles, and in some desert dwelling mammals (e.g., the kangaroo rat), uric acid also is the end product of purine metabolism, but it is excreted in feces as a dry mass.
