Catalase fluorometric detection kit

• Homogeneous – mix-and-read format easily adaptable to HTS applications
• Sensitive – fluorescent detection system
• Fast – results in just 1 hour

The Catalase fluorometric detection kit provides a higher throughput sensitive method for measuring catalase activity in just one hour. This is a homogeneous mix-and-read assay that enables you to monitor multiple time points for a kinetic read. Positive control is provided.

Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme that catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) to water and oxygen. Catalase is ubiquitously expressed in mammalian and non-mammalian aerobic cells containing the cytochrome system and functions to alleviate oxidative damage by catalyzing metabolism of the peroxide substrate. Accumulation of H₂O₂ can result in cellular damage through oxidation of proteins, DNA, and lipids, and has been linked to numerous pathologies including inflammation, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s.
