PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE (PDH) (E.C. 1.2.4.1) is an oxidoreductase which catalyzes the decarboxylation of pyruvate to form acetylated dihydrolipoamide in a thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)-dependent reaction. PDH is the E1 component of the PDH complex that ultimately produces acetyl-CoA. The PDH complex connects glycolysis to the citric acid cycle. This non-radioactive colorimetric PDH assay is based on the reduction of the tetrazolium salt MTT in a Phenazine Methosulfate (PMS) coupled reaction to a reduced form of MTT which exhibits an absorption maximum at 565 nm. The intensity of the purple color formed is directly proportional to the PDH activity.
