Metabolite Identification
Common Name7-Methyluric acid
Description7-Methyluric acid, also known as 7-methylate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as xanthines. These are purine derivatives with a ketone group conjugated at carbons 2 and 6 of the purine moiety. 7-Methyluric acid is the minor urinary metabolites of caffeine. 7-Methyluric acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 7-Methyluric acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 7-methyluric acid can be biosynthesized from 7-methylxanthine through its interaction with the enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase. In humans, 7-methyluric acid is involved in caffeine metabolism.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
Key enzyme in purine degradation. Catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine. Catalyzes the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. Contributes to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Has also low oxidase activity towards aldehydes (in vitro).
