(L)-Sodium lactate (Sodium L-Lactate) is produced from pyruvate by the enzyme Lactate Dehydrogenase. Lactate production occurs during anaerobic glycolysis or in proliferatively active cells. L-Lactic Acid occurs in small quantities in the blood and muscle fluid of man and animals. The lactic acid concentration increases in muscle and blood after vigorous activity. L-Lactic acid is also present in liver, kidney, thymus gland, human amniotic fluid, and other organs and body fluids.

(L)-Sodium lactate (Standard) is the standard of (L)-Sodium lactate (T4103), suitable for research related to quantitative analysis, quality control, and biochemical experiments. (L)-Sodium lactate (Sodium L-Lactate) is the stable form of the glycolytic end-product lactate. It participates in the lactate/pyruvate metabolic cycle in vivo via lactate dehydrogenase and acts as an important regulator of energy metabolism and acid-base balance. (L)-Sodium lactate is commonly used in cell culture and biomedical research to adjust osmotic pressure and provide a utilizable carbon source.
