GLDH is an essential enzyme to synthesize urea and it catalyzes the reversible conversion from glutamate to alpha-ketoglutarate.
Clinically GLDH is a deviation enzyme in blood which deviates from cells when the cells are damaged, only low level of GLDH is found in serum from healthy individuals. As GLDH is particularly abundant in hepatocytes, it is used as a marker for liver injury in toxicity studies and related applications.
LabAssay™ GLDH (AA-type) is a research reagent for measuring GLDH for use with automated analyzer in samples. GLDH levels in samples can be measured quickly.
