{"product_id":"biolegend-863301","title":"Biolegend, 863301, Purified anti-Catalase Antibody, 25μg","description":"\u003cp\u003eCatalase is a heme-containing homotetrameric protein that decomposes hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen to prevent the generation of hydroxyl radicals in cells. The role of catalase in cellular oxidative stress defense has been widely studied. Overexpression of catalase renders cells more resistant to hydrogen peroxide-induced toxicity and oxidant-mediated injury from hypoxia. Transgenic mice overexpressing catalase are protected against myocardial injury following adriamycin treatment. Although catalase knockout mice develop normally, they show differential sensitivity to oxidant tissue injury. Brain is particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress. Abnormalities and dysfunction of catalase have been indicated in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. Catalase activity was shown to be reduced in Parkinson-derived substantia nigra and putamen tissues. In in vitro cellular models of Alzheimer’s disease, aggregated amyloid beta demonstrates high affinity for catalase leading to the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and increased oxidative stress.\u003cbr\u003e\n25μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Mouse\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: Recombinant Catalase\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: 0.01 M PBS, pH7.4, containing 0.02% NaN3, 50% glycerol.\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.5 mg\/ml\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: Store at 4°C for up to 3 months.
