compound introduction
Mammalian lactate dehydrogenases (LDH) exist as five tetrameric isozymes composed of combinations of two different subunits. The H subunit predominates in heart muscle, which is geared for aerobic oxidation of pyruvate. The M subunit predominates in skeletal muscle and is concerned more with anaerobic metabolism and pyruvate reduction. Catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+ Recombinant rabbit muscle Lactate Dehydrogenase produced in E.Coli. Chromatographically purified. A lyophilized powder.
