An enzyme that splits hydrogen peroxide to yield oxygen and water; an important part of the body’s antioxidant defences.<\/p>\n
An agent that participates in a chemical reaction, speeding the rate, but itself remains unchanged.<\/p>\n
An enzyme. A substance that undergoes no chemical change itself, but which accelerates or affects chemical reactions.<\/p>\n
An enzyme that catalyzes the very rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Catalase is in the group of enzymes known as metalloenzymes because it requires the presence of a metal in order to be catalytically active. The metal (known as a cofactor) is, in the case of catalase, iron. Found in both plants and animals.<\/p>\n
An enzyme present in the blood and liver which catalyses the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.<\/p>\n
An enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of peroxide to water and oxygen; this is a key enzyme in the cytoplasmic free radical suppression system.<\/p>\n
An enzyme, present in most aerobic bacteria, with the property of decomposing hydrogen (or other) peroxides which may otherwise exert a toxic effect on cell growth.<\/p>\n
An enzyme present in almost all cells that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.<\/p>\n
