D-Lactate dehydrogenase

Description:
D-Lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of D-lactate to pyruvate, utilizing NAD+ as a cofactor in the process. It plays a crucial role in the metabolism of D-lactic acid, which is produced during fermentation processes in certain microorganisms. D-LDH is primarily found in bacteria and some eukaryotic organisms, where it contributes to energy production and metabolic pathways. The enzyme is characterized by its specificity for D-lactate, distinguishing it from L-lactate dehydrogenase, which acts on L-lactate. D-LDH is typically a tetrameric protein, and its activity can be influenced by various factors, including pH, temperature, and the presence of inhibitors or activators. The enzyme's activity is significant in clinical contexts, particularly in conditions related to metabolic disorders or in the study of microbial fermentation. Its CAS number, 9028-36-8, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks. Overall, D-Lactate dehydrogenase is an important enzyme in biochemistry and microbiology, with implications for both health and industry.
