It is a glycolytic enzyme responsible for converting pyruvate to lactate.
Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts to speed up reactions.
LDH stands for lactate dehydrogenase, an enzyme found in the body that plays a role in the conversion of lactate to pyruvate during energy production. Elevated levels of LDH in the blood can indicate tissue damage or certain medical conditions.
The equation for the production of lactic acid after glycolysis is pyruvate + NADH + H+ -> lactate + NAD+. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase.
A LDH blood test measures the level of lactate dehydrogenase, an enzyme found in the body's tissues and organs. Elevated LDH levels may indicate tissue damage or diseases such as liver disease, heart attack, or certain types of cancer.
Alcohol dehydrogenase converts ethanol into acetaldehyde.
Ferrous lactate consists of 1 iron atom and 2 Lactate atoms. Lactic acid is also commonly known as milk acid.
Correct answer: I, II, III and IV
lactate dehydrogenase
Lactate dehydrogenase is better known as lactic acid dehydrogenase. It is also abbreviated as LDH. If there is anything else it is called you can search for it on a medical website.
LDH stands for lactate dehydrogenase, an enzyme found in the body that plays a role in the conversion of lactate to pyruvate during energy production. Elevated levels of LDH in the blood can indicate tissue damage or certain medical conditions.

The equation for the production of lactic acid after glycolysis is pyruvate + NADH + H+ -> lactate + NAD+. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase.

The vmax of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is the maximum velocity at which the enzyme can catalyze the conversion of lactate to pyruvate in a given concentration of substrate. This value represents the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction at saturated substrate concentrations.
LD in med terms stands for 1. Learning Disability 2. Lethal Dose 3. Lactate Dehydrogenase
