Lactate 2-monooxygenase

Description:
Lactate 2-monooxygenase, identified by the CAS number 9028-72-2, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of lactate, a byproduct of anaerobic respiration. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of lactate to pyruvate, utilizing molecular oxygen in the process. It is typically found in various organisms, including bacteria and higher organisms, where it contributes to energy production and metabolic regulation. Lactate 2-monooxygenase is characterized by its dependence on cofactors, such as NAD+ or NADP+, which are essential for its enzymatic activity. The enzyme's activity can be influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of inhibitors or activators. Its role in metabolic pathways makes it significant in both physiological and pathological contexts, including exercise physiology and certain metabolic disorders. Understanding the characteristics and functions of lactate 2-monooxygenase can provide insights into metabolic processes and potential therapeutic targets for conditions related to lactate accumulation.
