What does Recombinant Uricase convert uric acid into?
Allantoin
Ammonia
Urea
Glucose
The correct answer is: Allantoin
Recombinant uricase is an enzyme used as a medication to convert uric acid into allantoin. Allantoin is a compound that is more soluble than uric acid, making it easier for the body to excrete through the urine. This conversion therapy is utilized in conditions where there is an excess accumulation of uric acid, such as in patients with gout or certain types of kidney stones. Therefore, the correct answer is A. In relation to the incorrect options: B. Ammonia is not the product of the conversion of uric acid by recombinant uricase. C. Urea is not the product of the conversion of uric acid by recombinant uricase. D. Glucose is not the product of the conversion of uric acid by recombinant uricase.
