Application

L-Lactic Dehydrogenase from bovine heart has been used:
  • as a reference standard to measure the LDH (lactic dehydrogenase)
  • to quench protein-bound NADH in cells
  • to measure the lactate released by the cells in suspension

For use in enzymatic determination of lactate or pyruvate.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Also catalyzes the oxidation of other L-2-hydroxymonocarboxylic acids.
LDH (lactic dehydrogenase) helps in the reversible conversion of lactate to pyruvate.

General description

LDH (lactic dehydrogenase) is a glycolytic enzyme. It is found in skeletal muscle, heart, liver, kidneys, brain, lungs and red blood cells. It comprises of five isoenzyme forms. LDH possess a tetrameric structure.

Other Notes

One unit will reduce 1.0 μmole of pyruvate to L-lactate per min at pH 7.5 at 37 °C.

The expansion of fluorescence bioimaging toward more complex systems and geometries requires analytical tools capable of spanning widely varying timescales and length scales, cleanly separating multiple fluorescent labels and distinguishing these labels from background autofluorescence. Here we meet these challenging
