Catalase polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
Hydrogen peroxide is a harmful byproduct of many normal metabolic processes, to prevent damage to cells and tissues, it must be quickly converted into other, less dangerous substances. To this end, catalase is frequently used by cells to rapidly catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less-reactive gaseous oxygen and water molecules. Catalase is usually located in a cellular, bipolar environment organelle called the peroxisome. All known animals use catalase in every organ, with particularly high concentrations occurring in the liver. Catalase promotes growth of cells including T-cells, B-cells, myeloid leukemia cells, melanoma cells, mastocytoma cells and normal and transformed fibroblast cells.
