MP Biomedicals™ Catalase from Bovine Liver
Natural antioxidant used to study roles of reactive oxygen species in gene expression and apoptosis
Brand: MP Biomedicals™ 0210042910
Additional Details : CAS Number : 9001-05-2 Weight : 0.03420kg
Description
A homotetrameric enzyme that is primarily located in peroxisomes. It is a tetramer consisting of 4 equal subunits with a molecular weight of 60kDa each. Each subunit contains iron bound to a protoheme IX group. The enzyme also strongly binds NADP, which is in close proximity to the heme group (13.7Å apart). Catalase can also react with alkylhydrogen peroxides such as methylperoxide and ethylperoxide and does not require any activator for exhibiting its catalytic activity. Catalase activity is constant over the pH range of 4.0 to 8.5.
