Catalase-peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.21, katG (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name donor:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(1) donor + H₂O₂ ⇌ oxidized donor + 2 H₂O(2) 2 H₂O₂ ⇌ O₂ + 2 H₂O

This enzyme is a strong catalase with H₂O₂ as donor which releases O₂.
