Catalase Analysis in Plant Tissues

Catalases (CAT) are tetrameric heme-containing enzymes which convert H₂O₂ molecules into H₂O and O₂. When plant is expose to drought, extreme temperature, heavy metal, salinity stress, the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion, hydroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen and hydrogen peroxide will increase. The overproduction of ROS severely damages necessary cellular ingredients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, DNA, etc. As one of the most important antioxidant enzymes, CAT can efficiently scavenge ROS to protect cells from the oxidative damage caused by the overaccumulation of ROS. Furthermore, stress treatment increases the activity of CAT.

STEMart provides comprehensive analysis services to identify and investigate the function of CAT in regulating plant environmental stress responses.
