urate ox·i·dase (ūrґāt okґsĭ-dās) [EC 1.7.3.3] an enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid to allantoin with liberation of CO2 and H2O2. It is a copper enzyme, found in most mammals but not in primates; it is frequently used in clinical assays of uric acid concentrations. Called also uricase.
