Preparation and Storage

Background: Catalase

Cells have evolved complex mechanisms to maintain redox balance and defend against oxidative stress. Catalase is a tetrameric enzyme comprised of four 60 kDa subunits. Catalase is typically localized in the peroxisome where it functions as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage due to oxidative stress. Catalase converts reactive oxygen species, such as H₂O₂, into water and O₂. Human Catalase shares 89% homology to mouse and rat Catalase. The cells redox environment can serve as an important signaling switch or trigger to initiate a number of cellular processes, including gene expression, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis.
