L-lactic dehydrogenase(CAS: 9001-60-9)

L-lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of lactate and pyruvate in biochemical reactions. It is a metalloenzyme containing a nucleotide cofactor. LDH is widely distributed in human tissues and organs, playing a crucial role in cellular metabolism.

L-lactic dehydrogenase is primarily used in clinical diagnostics for evaluating tissue damage, particularly in heart and muscle diseases. It is also utilized in research for studying enzymatic activities and in the food industry as a marker for spoilage.

L-lactic dehydrogenase is generally safe under controlled conditions. However, it should be handled with care to avoid skin contact and inhalation. Proper protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn during use.

L-lactic dehydrogenase should be stored at 2-8°C to maintain its activity. Avoid exposure to light and extreme temperatures. Keep the reagent in a tightly sealed container to prevent dehydration and contamination.
