Catalase prevents the formation of hydroxyl radicals in both apoptosis-inducing signaling pathways. In the hypochlorous acid pathway, this occurs through decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, and in the nitric oxide/peroxynitrite pathway, it proceeds through decomposition of peroxynitrite into nitrite and oxygen.
