Description
Description: Catalase (EC 1.11.1.6), is a common antioxidant enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water and oxygen, ubiquitously present in aerobic cells containing a cytochrome system. Hydrogen peroxide is highly deleterious to the cell and its accumulation will cause oxidation of cellular targets such as DNA, proteins, and lipids, thus leading to mutagenesis and cell death. Removal of the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from cells by using catalase provides protection against oxidative damage to the cell. The role of catalase in oxidative stress related diseases has been widely studied. Catalase also demonstrates peroxidatic activity, in which low molecular weight alcohols can serve as electron donors. Aliphatic alcohols are specific substrates for catalase, however, other enzymes with peroxidatic activity do not utilize these substrates.
