2. peroxidase
   A haem enzyme that catalyses reduction of hydrogen peroxide by a substrate that loses two hydrogen atoms. Within cells, may be localized in peroxisomes. Coloured reaction-products allow detection of the enzyme with high sensitivity, so peroxidase-coupled antibodies are widely used in microscopy and ELISA. Lactoperoxidase is used in the catalytic surface-labelling of cells by radioactive iodine.
