General description

Lactic Dehydrogenase (LDH) has a total molecular weight of 140 kDa and is composed of 4 subunits which are designated M subunit (muscle) and H subunit (heart). These subunits may be mixed in any of 5 combinations (M4, M3H1, M2H2, MH3, and H4). Skeletal muscle contains LDH that is predominately M4 with some small amounts of M3H and traces of H2H2. The H and M subunits are quite similar in molecular weight, but differ substantially in amino acid composition. Rabbit muscle LDH dissociates into dimeric species (MW = ~70 kDa) in acetate-chloride at pH 5.0, the dissociation is reversible. Biochemistry, 13, 3527-3531 (1974). Oxidizes glyoxylate and lactate.
Isoelectric point: 8.4-8.6
Optimal pH : 7.5 .

Application

L-Lactic Dehydrogenase from rabbit muscle has been used:
  • for protein-binding measurement
  • to detect the action of oxaloacetate decarboxylase
  • to determine serum L- and D-lactate

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lactic dehydrogenase is responsible for the conversion of pyruvate to lactate in the fermentative metabolism.
Also catalyzes the oxidation of other L-2-hydroxymonocarboxylic acids.

Physical form

Crystalline suspension in 3.2 M (NH4)2SO4 solution, pH 6.0

Analysis Note

Protein determined by biuret.

Other Notes

One unit will reduce 1.0 μmole of pyruvate to L-lactate per min at pH 7.5 at 37 °C.

Variations in dissolved oxygen levels are common in the Amazonian aquatic environments and the aquatic organisms that inhabit these environments developed a variety of adaptive responses to deal with such conditions. Some Amazonian fish species are tolerant to low oxygen
