Cross-species summary: Catalase catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. Reduced levels of catalase can lead to hypocatalasemia / hypocatalasaemia or hypocatalasia and absence of catalase activity results in acatalasaemia / acatalasemia.

Species in which this phene is found:
dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
domestic guinea pig (Cavia porcellus)
