Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Catalase antibody - Peroxisome Marker (AB52477)

IHC image of Catalasestaining in a formalin fixed, paraffin embedded normal human liver tissue section*, performed on a Leica Bond™ system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab52477, 5μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Supplementary information

Catalase also known as CAT is an enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. This enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 240 kDa and typically forms a tetramer. Catalase mainly resides in peroxisomes functioning as a peroxisome marker. It expresses abundantly in the liver kidneys and erythrocytes where it plays significant roles in cellular protection against oxidative damage. The presence of Catalase makes it an ideal candidate for use in peroxisome staining and peroxisome image analysis in research.
Biological function summary

Catalase contributes to antioxidant defense by breaking down hydrogen peroxide preventing cellular damage. In peroxisomes it works alongside other peroxisomal enzymes to maintain cell health and metabolic regulation. Catalase does not form a complex but interacts closely with other enzymes like superoxide dismutase which dismutates superoxide radicals into less harmful substances. Increased Catalase activity levels can be measured using Catalase activity kits and activity assays allowing us to learn about peroxisome function.

Pathways

Hydrogen peroxide removal by Catalase is vital in the reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolic process and plays a part in the cellular response to oxidative stress. Catalase interacts with the glutathione peroxidase pathway safeguarding cells from oxidative stress-related damage. Superoxide dismutase works synergistically with Catalase transforming superoxide anions into hydrogen peroxide before its decomposition by Catalase. These activities highlight the essential role Catalase plays in protecting cells from oxidative stress damage.

Catalase relates to conditions like acatalasemia and diabetes. Acatalasemia a condition caused by a deficiency of Catalase increases the risk of developing diabetes and other oxidative stress-related diseases. Mutations in the CAT gene can lead to decreased Catalase activity contributing to the onset of these conditions. Additionally Catalase works with other proteins like glutathione peroxidase in mitigating the effects of oxidative stress with deficiencies potentially exacerbating complications in diabetes management.
