In
enzymology, a D-lactate dehydrogenase (cytochrome) (EC 1.1.2.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- (D)-lactate + 2 ferricytochrome c pyruvate + 2 ferrocytochrome c
Thus, the two
pyruvate and ferrocytochrome c
.
This enzyme belongs to the family of
pyruvate metabolism. It employs one cofactor, FAD. This type of enzyme has been characterized in animals, fungi, bacteria and recently in plants[1]
.[2] It is believed to be important in the detoxification of methylglyoxal through the glyoxylase pathway
