catalase

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.CT06762
A hemeprotein which catalyses the @D01799@ of dihydrogen peroxide to O2, and water; it also catalyses the @O04362@ of other compounds, such as ethanol, by dihydrogen peroxide.
Note:
A non-hemeprotein containing a dinuclear managanese @CT06769@ with catalase activity is often called pseudocatalase.
