1. It was found that there existed an enzyme in liver tissue capable of decomposing xanthurenic acid. The name, “Xanthurenicase”, was given to this enzyme.
2. Several characteristics of this enzyme such as pH optimum, . temperature optimum, inhibitor, etc. were studied.
3. Based on the examinations by both paper-partition-chromato-graphy and absorption spectrum, some postulation is presented that the substance formed by the decomposition of xanthurenic acid may be a derivate of phenol caused by the splitting of a pyidin ring of xanthurenic acid.
