On the protein level the following designations are being used for antigen Catalase:

catalase – catalase 1 – OTTMUSP00000015802 – CG6871-PA – Cat-PA – CATHPO – cytosolic catalase – CaTaLase family member (ctl-2) – CaTaLase family member (ctl-3) – CaTaLase family member (ctl-1) – CAT2 (CATALASE 2); catalase – Catalase – catalase, gene 2

Catalase fulfills a number of functions:

NADP or NADPH binding – aminoacylase activity – catalase activity – heme binding – metal ion binding – protein homodimerization activity – iron ion binding – oxidoreductase activity – oxidoreductase activity, acting on peroxide as acceptor – peroxidase activity – antioxidant activity

Catalase is relevant to the following processes:

UV protection – aerobic respiration – cholesterol metabolic process – hemoglobin metabolic process – hydrogen peroxide catabolic process – negative regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity – negative regulation of apoptosis – oxidation reduction – positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity – positive regulation of cell division – positive regulation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase cascade – protein tetramerization – response to reactive oxygen species – triglyceride metabolic process – response to oxidative stress – response to copper ion – aging – calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion – determination of adult lifespan – response to hydrogen peroxide – peroxisome organization – cell death – cell redox homeostasis – cellular response to nitrogen starvation – cellular response to phosphate starvation – cellular response to sulfate starvation – photoperiodism – response to cold – response to light stimulus

Locations for Catalase:

mitochondrion – peroxisomal membrane – peroxisome – Golgi apparatus – cytosol – endoplasmic reticulum – lysosome – mitochondrial intermembrane space – plasma membrane – cytoplasm – chloroplast – cytosolic ribosome – stromule
