General description
Research area: Cancer
Application
Diaphorase from Clostridium kluyveri has been used:
- in lactate dehydrogenase assay in gill cells.
- impregnated on the strip for formate dehydrogenase assay.
- in various assays to oxidate β-NADH or β-NADPH in the presence of an electron acceptor.
- for semiquinone generation during benzoquinone reduction.
- for evaluation of glucose uptake in cultured muscle cells.
- in lactate dehydrogenase cytotoxicity assay.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Diaphorase catalyzes the oxidation of either β-NADH or β-NADPH in the presence of an electron acceptor such as methylene blue or 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol. Diaphorases that are specific for either β-NADH or β-NADPH are known. The pig heart enzyme of Straub seems to have native diaphorase (β-NADH specific) as well as lipoic and lipoamide dehydrogenase activities.
Physical form
Supplied as a lyophilized powder containing trehalose.
Other Notes
One unit of diaphorase will oxidize 1.0 micromole of beta-NADH per minute at pH 7.5 at 25 degrees C, with the corresponding reduction of the appropriate electron acceptor.

Fibroblasts play a central role in diseases associated with excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM), including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Investigation of different properties of fibroblasts, such as migration, proliferation, and collagen-rich ECM production is unavoidable both in basic research and

Most bacteria contain soluble quinone-reducing flavoenzymes. However, no biological benefit for this activity has previously been demonstrated. ChrR of Pseudomonas putida is one such enzyme that has also been characterized as a chromate reductase; yet we propose that it is
