Catalase is a ubiquitous enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, protecting cells from oxidative damage. This tetrameric heme-containing enzyme plays a critical role in cellular antioxidant defense. Catalase activity is widely used as a biomarker in physiological and clinical studies related to oxidative stress. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a peptide source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Caperase and Equilase. Its PubChem SID is 504687306.
