Detoxification is one of the liver's functions. Catalase catalyses the breakdown of Hydrogen Peroxide which is toxic (It's highly reactive so can cause cell damage. It comes from the small intestine via the portal vein, from things we eat or drink, e.g. alcohol) to oxygen and water, which are harmless.
Catalase (H202:H202o xidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.6) is
of historical interest for having been the subject of
some of the earliest investigations of enzymes. A feature
of catalase that has been poorly understood for
several decades, however, is the mechanism by which
catalase remainsa ctive in the presence oift s own substrate,
hydrogen peroxide. They reported recently that
catalase contains tightly bound NADPH. The present
study with bovine and human catalase revealed that
NADPH both prevents and reverses the accumulation
of compound 11, an inactive form of catalase that is
generated slowly when catalaseis exposed to hydrogen
peroxide. Since the effect of NADPH occurs even at
NADPH concentrations below 0.1 g ~ t,he protective
mechanism is likely to operate in vivo
Catalase is essential for all life as it breaks down hydrogen peroxide, which is a product of respiration sometimes. As it is toxic, it must be broken down rapidly. Catalase decomposes hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, which is safe. It is the fastest enzyme known to man, and it needs to be (for obvious reasons).
To prevent the accumulation toxic levels of hydrogen peroxide.
Catalase is an enzyme that speeds up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
It helps break down catalose.
Your digestive system breaks down nutrients you consume in food in order for your body to be able to use it. After you break food into small pieces by chewing it, enzymes (amylase, catalase and lactase) act on it to finalize the process.
In humans, Catalase exists in all the organs of the body, but is found mosty in the liver.

The morphologically similar Enterococcus (catalase negative) and Staphylococcus (catalase positive) can be differentiated using the catalase test.
Catalase. Staphylococci are catalase positive. Streptococci are catalase negative.

Catalase is an enzyme which is very important to organism well-being. It is vital for keeping the body free of damaging oxidants and accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen which is more easily used by the body.
The morphologically similar Enterococcus (catalase negative) and Staphylococcus (catalase positive) can be differentiated using the catalase test.
Catalase. Staphylococci are catalase positive. Streptococci are catalase negative.
it should test + for catalase but Salmonella isolates are moderate catalase reactors.
Most Bacillus species are Catalase positive.
