dry ether is generally used as solvent in chemical reactions.
to the best of my knowledge there is no reaction where ether is used as a catalyst.
A catalyst
Nickel is used as a catalyst in many chemical reactions.
For example the iron oxide catalyst used for synthesis of ammonia.

This is called a catalyst. In biology, it is referred to as an enzyme (biological catalyst). Catalysts can also be used to speed up or slow down chemical reactions.

Ether is an excellent solvent for extractions and for a wide variety of chemical reactions. It is also used as a volatile starting fluid for diesel engines.
It is true that a catalyst is used in chemical reactions to help speed up the reaction by reducing activation energy.
An Enzyme.Another word used to speed up chemical reactions not necessarily in the body is a Catalyst.
A catalyst can speed up a chemical reaction. Another possible answer in the Biological sense is that Enzymes speed up chemical reactions, but these enzymes are catalysts of the chemical reactions.Different catalysts catalyse different reactions. For example iron is used as a catalyst in the Haber process (manufacture of ammonia).
A substance that helps chemical reactions is called a catalyst. It speeds up the rate of a reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly.
A catalyst functions to speed up a chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction, meaning that a catalyst can be used more than once.
For example the iron oxide catalyst used for synthesis of ammonia.
A catalyst
Anything that is added to a chemical reaction that's intended to speed up the reaction - is a catalyst.
