Description
L-Lactic acid, lithium salt is the lithium salt of L-lactic acid, the naturally occurring (S) enantiomer of lactic acid.
The lithium salt provides L-lactate in a stable, defined form that is useful for preparing solutions and introducing lactate into biochemical and metabolic studies. It is well suited for research involving lactate metabolism, lactate dehydrogenase activity, cellular energetics, and other processes influenced by L-lactate.
Its distinct salt form also makes it useful when you require a lactate source rather than free lactic acid.
In biological systems, L-lactate is produced from pyruvate by lactate dehydrogenase and serves as an important metabolite connecting glycolysis, cellular energy metabolism, and redox balance.
