A hemeprotein which catalyses the disproportionation of dihydrogen peroxide to
O2, and water; it also catalyses the oxidation 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.
