Catalase has an optimum pH of 9 and a working range of between pH 7-11. Most other enzymes function within a working pH range of about pH 5-9 with neutral pH 7 being the optimum.

For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge.
