MP Biomedicals™ Catalase from Beef Liver

Description

Oxidoreductase enzyme for catalyzing conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂

Hydrogen peroxide is a harmful byproduct of many normal metabolic processes. to prevent damage to cells and tissues, it must be quickly converted into other, less dangerous substances. To this end, catalase is frequently used by cells to rapidly catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less-reactive gaseous oxygen and water molecules.
