Abstract
The enzyme catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) decomposes the toxic concentration of hydrogen peroxide. It is in excessive concentration may cause damages to proteins, DNA, RNA and lipids while its low concentration is required in signaling processes.
Acatalasemia, the inherited deficiency of catalase enzyme seems to be a factor in various age related disorders such as diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis, schizophrenia, and vitiligo
