'''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 heme 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.<ref>PMID:21524057</ref>
