Used primarily in biochemical research and diagnostic applications, this enzyme plays a crucial role in redox reactions, facilitating the transfer of electrons between molecules. It is often employed in assays to measure the activity of other enzymes or to detect specific biomolecules, such as NADH or NADPH, by coupling reactions. In clinical diagnostics, it aids in the detection of metabolic disorders or enzymatic deficiencies by enabling precise quantification of substrates. Additionally, it is utilized in industrial processes for the synthesis of fine chemicals or pharmaceuticals, where controlled redox transformations are required. Its stability and specificity make it a valuable tool in both laboratory and industrial settings.
