Description
Rabbit IgG polyclonal Picoband? antibody for Catalase(CAT) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P, IHC-F, ICC/IF, FCM in Human;Mouse;Rat. No cross reactivity with other proteins. Catalase is a key antioxidant enzyme in the bodies defensing against oxidative stress. It is also a heme enzyme that is present in the peroxisome of nearly all aerobic cells. Catalase converts the reactive oxygen species hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen and thereby mitigates the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide. Oxidative stress is hypothesized to play a role in the development of many chronic or late-onset diseases such as diabetes, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancers. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with decreases in catalase activity but, to date, acatalasemia is the only disease known to be caused by this gene.
Immunogen
E. coli-derived human Catalase recombinant protein (Position: E344-L527). Human Catalase shares 85.3% and 82.6% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Catalase, respectively.
