| Assay Principle |
Catalase is an
antioxidant enzyme that catalyses the decomposition
of hydrogen peroxide (H 20 2) to water and oxygen. Catalase
is ubiquitously expressed in mammalian and non-mammalian
aerobic cells containing the cytochrome system. The
enzyme has been isolated from various sources, including
bacteria and plant cells (1-3). Catalase activity varies
greatly from tissue to tissue. Highest activity is
seen
in liver and kidney, while lowest activity is seen
in connective tissue (3). In eukarotic cells, catalase
in concentrated in organelles called peroxisomes (4).
The production of hydrogen peroxide in eukaryotic
cells is an end product result of various oxidases
and superoxide dismutase reactions. Accumulation
of
H202 can result in cellular
damage through oxidation of proteins, DNA and lipids
thus resulting in cell
death and mutagenisis (8-11). H202 role
in oxidative stress related diseases have been widely
studied (8,12).
The Fluoro Catalase detection kit is sensitive assay
that utilizes a non - fluorescent detection reagent to detect H202 substrate
left over from the catalase reaction (5-6).
