What are Some Commonly Studied Enzymes in Histology?
Several enzymes are frequently studied in histological research due to their critical roles in various biological processes:
- Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): Often used as a marker for osteoblast activity and bone remodeling. - Acid Phosphatase (ACP): Utilized in studying lysosomal activity and certain pathologies such as prostate cancer. - Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH): An indicator of cellular damage and metabolic activity. - Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD): Important for understanding redox balance and metabolic disorders. - Peroxidase: Studied for its role in oxidative stress and inflammation.
