In this assay, the activity of L-Lactic Dehydrogenase is determined by observing the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm for NADH, rather than the formation of NAD+. The method utilizes a continuous spectrophotometric rate determination to monitor the absorbance decrease at 340 nm, corresponding to NADH absorbance.

General description
Research area: Cell Signaling
Lactic Dehydrogenase (LDH) has a total molecular weight of 140 kDa and is composed of 4 subunits which are designated M subunit (muscle) and H subunit (heart). These subunits may be mixed in any of 5 combinations (M4, M3H1, M2H2, MH3, and H4). Skeletal muscle contains LDH that is predominately M4 with some small amounts of M3H and traces of H2H2. The H and M subunits are quite similar in molecular weight, but differ substantially in amino acid composition. Rabbit muscle LDH dissociates into dimeric species (MW = ~70 kDa) in acetate-chloride at pH 5.0, the dissociation is reversible. Biochemistry, 13, 3527-3531 (1974). Oxidizes glyoxylate and lactate.

Application
L-Lactic Dehydrogenase from rabbit muscle has been used:
- as a component of activation and relaxing solution in ATPase activity and isometric steady-state tension measurements with muscle fiber
- in Trypanosoma congolense pyruvate kinase activity assay
- in pyruvate kinase (PK) assay with rice plastidic PK enzyme OsPK2
Biochem/physiol Actions
Muscle-type Lactic Dehydrogenase (LDH) participates in metabolic pathways and its activity is essential for anaerobic glycolysis. LDH activity is inhibited by ascorbate. LDH regenerates nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) from NADH and is industrially useful in poly(lactic acid) production. In the absence of oxygen, LDH participates in a fermentation reaction, catalyzes pyruvate into lactic acid, and oxidizes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to NAD+. Therefore, LDH mediates the production of NAD+ essential anaerobic glycolysis pathway. Through this LDH helps maintain the physiological and biochemical functions of the cell in the absence of oxygen.
Also catalyzes the oxidation of other L-2-hydroxymonocarboxylic acids.
Analysis Note
Protein determined by biuret.
Other Notes
One unit will reduce 1.0 μmole of pyruvate to L-lactate per min at pH 7.5 at 37 °C.

In the assay, the UV-Vis absorbance at 340 nm is always showing negative. If lactate continues to form over time, shouldn't the absorbance become more positive?

What are products that only have the quality release date on the COA and do not have an expiration or retest date?
1 answer-
Certain products are not included in the retest or expiration date programs as there is no indication to suggest that they are unstable. These products will only display the Release Date on the certificate of analysis, with no stated Retest, Expiration, or Use-by Date. It is advised to handle these products according to the defined conditions outlined in our product literature and website product descriptions. It is recommended for end users to regularly inspect these products to ensure they perform as expected. For such products, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment applies. For more information on our warranty, please refer to the terms and conditions of sale.

is the substrate given for the enzyme lactate or lactic form, and may I know why it is L-lactic dehydrogenase and not L-lactate dehydrogenase?
1 answer-
The terms tend to be used interchangeably. Lactate is the anion of the conjugate base lactic acid.
