IUBMB Comments

Differs from EC 1.11.1.7, peroxidase in having a relatively high catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) activity with H2O2 as donor, releasing O2; both activities use the same heme active site. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis it is responsible for activation of the commonly used antitubercular drug, isoniazid.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Eukaryota, Bacteria, Archaea
