Product Description: Price
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an oxidoreductase which catalyzes the interconversion of lactate and pyruvate, which plays an important role in anaerobic glycolysis and use of lactate as a metabolic fuel. It consists of 4 subunits which may be of 2 different types: M (muscle) and H (heart), also known as A and B respectively. Five different isoenzymes are therefore possible, depending on the subunit composition (see gel on right). LDH is most often measured to evaluate the presence of tissue or cell damage. The non-radioactive colorimetric LDH assay is based on the reduction of the tetrazolium salt INT in a NADH-coupled enzymatic reaction to formazan, which is water-soluble and exhibits an absorption maximum at 492 nm. The intensity of the red color formed is increased in the presence of increased LDH activity. The superior sensitivity of the non-radioactive assay kit allows the assay to be completed within 20-30 min with minimal pipetting steps. Each kit is sufficient for approximately 200 assays using the 96-well format. See related product Lactate Assay Kit. The method is adaptable to automation.
