products description :
MyBioSource produces bulk quantities of Bovine Liver Catalase for laboratory uses, research and diagnostic manufacturing. Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available. Catalase is an enzyme found in the blood and in most living cells that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. It has one of the highest turnover rates for all enzymes; one molecule of catalase can convert millions of molecules of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen per second. In microbiology, the catalase test is used to differentiate between bacterial species in the lab.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes catalase, a key antioxidant enzyme in the bodies defense against oxidative stress. Catalase is a heme enzyme that is present in the peroxisome of nearly all aerobic cells. Catalase converts the reactive oxygen species hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen and thereby mitigates the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide. Oxidative stress is hypothesized to play a role in the development of many chronic or late-onset diseases such as diabetes, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancers. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with decreases in catalase activity but, to date, acatalasemia is the only disease known to be caused by this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
