👉 Catalase veins are small blood vessels that transport catalase, an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, from tissues to the bloodstream. They are found primarily in organs that produce hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct of cellular metabolism, such as the liver and spleen. These veins ensure that hydrogen peroxide is efficiently removed from the body, preventing potential damage to cells and tissues. The presence of these veins is crucial for maintaining proper cellular function and overall health.
