'''Catalase''' (CAT) catalyzes the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. CAT contains porphyrin-heme Fe group which reacts with the hydrogen peroxide. CAT containing Mn are called pseudocatalase (PCAT). '''Catalase-peroxidase''' (CAT KatG) is a bifunctional enzyme with both catalase and peroxidase activities. CAT KatG cofactor is a ~~<scene name='57/578105/Heme/1'>~~heme~~</scene>~~ group. It provides defense against oxidative stress by reducing hydrogen peroxide. Mutations in CAT KatG can cause resistance to the anti-malarial drug isoniazid (INH). '''Catalase-phenol oxidase''' (CATPO) is a heme-containing CAT which shows phenol oxidase activity.
