FunFam 16:

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 7 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Xanthine dehydrogenase activity GO:0004854
Catalysis of the reaction: xanthine + NAD+ + H2O = urate + NADH + H+.
2 Q12553 (/IDA) R4ZGN4 (/IDA)
Molybdopterin cofactor binding GO:0043546
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with the molybdopterin cofactor (Moco), essential for the catalytic activity of some enzymes, e.g. sulfite oxidase, xanthine dehydrogenase, and aldehyde oxidase. The cofactor consists of a mononuclear molybdenum (Mo-molybdopterin) or tungsten ion (W-molybdopterin) coordinated by one or two molybdopterin ligands.
2 Q12553 (/ISS) R4ZGN4 (/ISS)
Flavin adenine dinucleotide binding GO:0050660
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with FAD, flavin-adenine dinucleotide, the coenzyme or the prosthetic group of various flavoprotein oxidoreductase enzymes, in either the oxidized form, FAD, or the reduced form, FADH2.
2 Q12553 (/ISS) R4ZGN4 (/ISS)
2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding GO:0051537
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a 2 iron, 2 sulfur (2Fe-2S) cluster; this cluster consists of two iron atoms, with two inorganic sulfur atoms found between the irons and acting as bridging ligands.

Xanthine dehydrogenase activity GO:0004854
Catalysis of the reaction: xanthine + NAD+ + H2O = urate + NADH + H+.
