| Cat. No. : |
LDHB-2570H |
| Description : |
LDHB, also known as L-lactate dehydrogenase B chain, is a member of the lactate dehydrogenase family. It is an oxidoreductase which catalyses the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+. As this protein can also catalyze the oxidation of hydroxybutyrate, it is occasionally called Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase (HBD). The LDH family consists of three members, LDH-A, LDH-B and LDH-C. LDHs function as powerful markers for germ cell tumors. |

| Molecular Weight : |
38.8 kDa (354aa) confirmed by MALDI-TOF |
| Purity : |
> 95% by SDS – PAGE. |
| Concentration : |
1 mg/ml (determined by Bradford assay). |
| Biological Activity : |
Specific activity is > 6 units/mg. in which one unit will convert 1.0 umole of pyruvate to L-lactate and beta-NAD per minute at pH 7.5 at 37°C. |
| Activity Assay : |
1. Prepare a 1.5 ml reaction mix into a suitable container, adjust to pH7.5 at 37C, and pre-chill on ice before use: The final concentrations are 100mM Sodium phosphate, 0.12 mM beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced form, 2.3mM Pyruvate, 0.033% (w/v) bovine serum albumin. 2. Equilibrate to 37C and monitor at A340nm until the value is constant using a spectrophotometer3. Add 50ul of recombinant LDHB protein in various concentrations (0.1ug, 0.5ug) in assay buffer. 4. Mix by inversion and record the increase at A340nm for 5 minutes. |
| Storage : |
Can be stored at +4°C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or -70°C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles. |
