An enzyme in living cells that aids the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water.
An antioxidant enzyme that acts on hydrogen peroxide, a free radical, reducing it to water and oxygen.
Glutathione perioxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase are the primary three enzymes produced in the body as an antioxidant defense. Catalase is a specific for protection against tumors.
an enzyme which catalyzes the breakdown of hygrogen peroxide in the body. Catalase is found in all organisms which require oxygen or can survive in its presence.
an enzyme that helps neutralize free radicals.
a protein that catalyzes (influences the rate of) the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
As A Treatment"...Catalase catalyses conversion of Hydrogen Peroxide, a powerful and potentially harmful oxidizing agent, to water and molecular oxygen (metabolic products which the body can use..."
Catalase (human erythrocyte catalase: , ) is a common enzyme found in living organisms.
