LACTIC OXIDASE

Yellow lyophilized powder

Lactate Oxidase from Pediococcus sp. has been:

• used to functionalize the detection reservoirs for lactate analysis
• used in sequential enzymatic reactions to measure lactate production in the supernatants of microglial cultures
• immobilized onto a carbon electrode to generate a self-powered lactate sensor

Formerly E.C. number 1.1.3.2

Lactate oxidase is used in immobilization or enzyme-based labels for designing biochemical analytical devices such as immunosensors. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of lactate to produce pyruvate and H2O2. Lactate oxidase is useful in the first-generation biosensor approach for the electrochemical detection of lactate.
