Background

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an oxidoreductase present in a wide variety of organisms. LDH catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate, with the concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+. When disease or injury damages tissues, cells release LDH into the bloodstream. Being a fairly stable enzyme, LDH activity is widely used to quantify damage. Quantification of LDH thus has a broad range of applications. In this colorimetric assay, LDH reduces NAD to NADH, which then interacts with a probe to produce a color (wavelength max = 450 nm).
