Catalase（Cat No.:I016222）is an enzyme found in the cells of many organisms, including humans, plants, and bacteria. It plays a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative damage by catalyzing the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) into water (H₂O) and oxygen (O₂). Hydrogen peroxide is a byproduct of various metabolic processes and can be toxic in high concentrations. Catalase helps prevent cellular damage by efficiently neutralizing excess hydrogen peroxide. Due to its protective functions, catalase is studied for its potential applications in treatments for oxidative stress-related diseases, aging, and certain types of cancer.
