Application

D-Lactic Dehydrogenase can be used to generate inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme by catalyzing the production of the intermediate (R)-2-Hydroxy-4-phenylbutyric acid.
D-Lactic dehydrogenase has been used in a study to assess mechanisms of active transport in isolated membrane vesicles. It has also been used in a study to investigate β-galactoside transport in bacterial membrane preparations.

Unit Definition

One unit will reduce 1.0 μmole of pyruvate to D-lactate per min at pH 7.0 at 25 °C.
