Catalase from Beef Liver, Oxidoreductase enzyme for catalyzing conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, 2H2O2 → 2H2O O2, Each

Details

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.CAS Number: 9001-05-2EC Number: 232-577-1MDL Number: MFCD00081483Format: Dark green powderSpecific Activity: ∽13,000U/mg solidExtinction Coefficient: 36.5 (276nm)Isoelectric point (pI): 5.4Dissolves readily at 5mg/mL in 0.05M sodium/potassium phosphate (pH 7.0) giving clear green solutionUsed in the food industry for removing hydrogen peroxide from milk prior to cheese production.
