Xanthine oxidoreductase is asymmetrically localised not only in the cytoplasm but also on the outer surface of human endothelial (umbilical vein endothelial cells and EA-hy-926 permanent endothelial cell line) and epithelial (HB4a, a mammary epithelial cell line conditionally immortalised by transfection with SV40 virus) cells in culture (Rouquette et al. 1998).
