| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables aminoacylase activity and catalase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular oxidant detoxification; hydrogen peroxide catabolic process; and positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Located in peroxisomal matrix and peroxisomal membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including acatalasia; eye disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); osteonecrosis; and pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Orthologous to human CAT (catalase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display a generally normal phenotype although subtle abnormalities do occur in mitochondrial respiration.
