Definition
- 1Composé chimique dérivé de la xanthine de formule brute C₅H₄N₄O₃, présent dans l’urine ou les selles, résultant de la dégradation et de l’excrétion des purines chez l’être humain et les primates supérieurs, qui ne possèdent plus l’enzyme conduisant à l’allantoïne présente chez la plupart des autres mammifères et qui forme la plupart des calculs de la vessie ; chez les oiseaux et les reptiles, l’acide urique est aussi le produit d’élimination des purines, mais l’élimination se fait dans les selles et non dans les urines comme chez l’être humain.
