  • Title: Confirmation that catalase is a glycoprotein.
    Author: Pegg M, Crane D, Masters C.
    Journal: Biochem Int; 1986 Jun; 12(6):831-8. PubMed ID: 3017350.
    Abstract:
    Catalases which had been purified from the livers of mouse, rat and guinea pig were subjected to mild periodate oxidation followed by reduction with sodium boro[3H]hydride in order to test for the presence of sialic acid. A radioactively labelled moiety resulted, which behaved as a derivative of N-acetyl neuraminic acid during mild acid hydrolysis, neuraminidase treatment, ion exchange chromatography and paper chromatography. It is concluded that mammalian catalases are glycoproteins, and possess variable amounts of N-acetyl neuraminic acid in their carbohydrate moiety.
