Description générale

CAT (catalase) is an endogenous antioxidant enzyme, thus conferring protection to cells against damage by ROS (reactive oxygen species). In humans, this gene is localized to chromosome 11p13, which is composed of 12 introns and 13 exons.
Research Area: Cell Signaling

Catalase from bovine liver is a tetramer consisting of 4 equal subunits each with a 60 kDa molecular weight. Each of these subunits contains iron bound to a protoheme IX group. The enzyme will also strongly bind to NADP, where NADP and the heme group are within 13.7 angstroms.

Application

Catalase from bovine liver is used for the following applications:
  • Gel filtration
  • Analytical filtration on Ultrogel and glycerol gradient centrifugation
  • Size exclusion chromatography (HPLC)-HPLC analysis of estrogen receptor
  • Enzyme assays
  • Alcohol oxidase activity
Catalase acts as a natural antioxidant to study the roles of reactive oxygen species in gene expression and apoptosis. It has also been used to protect against oxidative damage to proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Industrially, catalzes have been used to remove hydrogen peroxide added to milk and cheese, in textile bleaching, and to examine its positive effects on the viability of DNA-repair mutants of E. coli.

Catalase from bovine liver may be used:

  • to prepare H2O2-O2 based biocathode for applications in glucose biofuel cells
  • to study the kinetic properties and storage stability of catalase immobilized on to florisil
  • in glutathione-mediated superoxide generation in an aqueous solution

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Catalase, an antioxidant enzyme found in all aerobic organisms, catalyzes the degradation of hydrogen peroxide, a byproduct of metabolic processes, into less harmful water and oxygen. It can also react with alkylhydrogen peroxides, such as methylperoxide and ethylperoxide and the second H2O2 molecule can be replaced by methanol, ethanol, propanol, formate and nitrate as a hydrogen donor. Catalase enzyme uses either iron (Fe) or manganese (Mn) as cofactor, and are classified as Fe-CAT or Mn-CAT.
This product doesn not need any activators, but it is inhibited by 3-amino-1-H-1,2,4 triazole, cyanide, azide, hydroxylamine, cyanogens bromide, 2-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, dianisidnie and nitrate.

Attention

Solutions of catalse should not be frozen. Frozen solution will result in a 50-70% loss of activity.

Définition de l'unité

One unit will decompose 1.0 μmole of H2O2 per min at pH 7.0 at 25 °C, while the H2O2 conc. falls from 10.3 to 9.2 mM, measured by the rate of decrease of A240.

Notes préparatoires

This product is a powder suitable for cell culture with activity at 2,000-5,000 units/mg. The enzyme is soluble in 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer at 1 mg/mL and pH 7.0.

Ascorbate (AscH-) functions as a versatile reducing agent. At pharmacological doses (P-AscH-; [plasma AscH-] ≥≈20mM), achievable through intravenous delivery, oxidation of P-AscH- can produce a high flux of H2O2 in tumors. Catalase is the major enzyme for detoxifying high concentrations

An oxygen-limited fed-batch technique (OLFB) was compared to traditional methanol-limited fed-batch technique (MLFB) for the production of recombinant Thai Rosewood beta-glucosidase with Pichia pastoris. The degree of energy limitation, expressed as the relative rate of respiration (q(O)/q(O,max)), was kept similar
