Application

Pulmonary artery endothelial cells treated with PEG-catalase showed effective inhibition of 20- HETE (hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid)-induced increase in fluorescence. However, the experiment excludes potential nonspecific fluorescence of DCF (dichlorofluorescein). This experiment studied the effect of 20-HETE on superoxide production and NADPH oxidase activation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Catalase from bovine liver catalyzes the decomposition of H2O2 into water and oxygen. It is a tetramer consisting of four equal subunits with a molecular weight of 60 kDa each. Each subunit contains iron bound to a protoheme IX group. The enzyme also strongly binds NADP, which is in close proximity to the heme group. Catalase activity is constant over the pH range of 4.0-8.5. The pI is found to be 5.4. The enzyme activity is inhibited by 3-amino-1-H-1,2,4 triazole, cyanide, azide, hydroxylamine, cyanogen bromide, 2-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, dianisidine, and nitrate. Incubation of catalase with ascorbate or ascorbate/Cu2+ results in degradation of the catalase molecule. It does not require any activators.

  1. Which document(s) contains shelf-life or expiration date information for a given product?

    If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.

  2. How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?

    The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.

  3. What can I use to solubilize Catalase-polyethylene glycol, Product C4963?

    It is soluble in water at a concentration of 1 mg/mL.

  4. What is the specific activity of Catalase-polyethylene glycol, Product C4963?

    The certificate of analysis on our website will have lot-specific activity information.

  5. What is the solution stability of Catalase-polyethylene glycol, Product C4963?

    We generally recommend preparing fresh solutions of Catalase-PEG. If stock solutions must be stored, we recommend first dissolving in water, then diluteing with an equal volume of glycerol. This 50% glycerol solution may be kept in the freezer at -20°C. Aqueous solutions held at 37°C were found to lose approximately half of the catalase activity after about 10 days.

  6. How do I find price and availability?

    There are several ways to find pricing and availability for our products. Once you log onto our website, you will find the price and availability displayed on the product detail page. You can contact any of our Customer Sales and Service offices to receive a quote.  USA customers:  1-800-325-3010 or view local office numbers.

ERK-dependent signaling is key to many pathways through which extracellular signals are transduced into cell-fate decisions. One conundrum is the way in which disparate signals induce specific responses through a common, ERK-dependent kinase cascade. While studies have revealed intricate ways

Seminolipid (also known as sulfogalactosylglycerolipid-SGG), present selectively in male germ cells, plays important roles in spermatogenesis and sperm-egg interaction. The proper degradation of SGG in apoptotic germ cells is also as important. Sertoli cells first phagocytose apoptotic germ cells, then

The main characteristic of senescence is its stability which relies on the persistence of DNA damage. We show that unlike fibroblasts, senescent epithelial cells do not activate an ATM-or ATR-dependent DNA damage response (DDR), but accumulate oxidative-stress-induced DNA single-strand breaks

Senescence is a state of growth arrest resulting mainly from telomere attrition and oxidative stress. It ultimately leads to cell death. We have previously shown that, in keratinocytes, senescence is induced by NF-kappaB activation, MnSOD upregulation and H(2)O(2) overproduction. We
