CheKine™ Micro Formaldehyde Dehydrogenase (FDH) Activity Ass - 96 T

Formaldehyde is a non-specific reactive compound with proteins, nucleic acids and lipids, and is highly toxic to all organisms. As one of the family members of Zinc-containing medium chain alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), formaldehyde dehydrogenase is widely present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This enzyme can use NAD+ as a coenzyme to oxidize toxic formaldehyde and is a key enzyme in the formaldehyde oxidation pathway. FDH catalyzes formaldehyde and NAD+ to produce NADH, and the absorbance value at 340 nm increases. The activity of FDH can be reflected by the change of absorbance value of NADH at 340 nm.
