Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionctl-2 encodes one of three C. elegans catalases; CTL-2 exhibits catalase and peroxidase activity in vitro, and thus likely functions in vivo as an antioxidant enzyme that protects cells from reactive oxygen species; ctl-2 activity is required for normal lifespan as well as for the extended lifespan seen in daf-2 mutant animals; in addition, ctl-2 is required for normal egg-laying capacity and for normal peroxisomal morphology; immunoelectron microscopy indicates that CTL-2 is found mainly in the peroxisomes of intestinal epithelial cells; ctl-2 expression is negatively regulated by DAF-2-mediated insulin signaling.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003973

Automated_descriptionEnables catalase activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan and peroxisome organization. Located in peroxisome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human CAT (catalase).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkSequence connection from Eleanor Whitfield [020610 krb]
Please note that although this gene has also been described as 'cat-1', the official (CGC approved) cat-1 is a completely different gene [030120 ck1]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
