Anti-Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)

Lactate dehydrogenases exist in four distinct enzyme classes. Two of them are cytochrome c-dependent enzymes with each acting on either D-lactate (EC 1.1.2.4) or L-lactate (EC 1.1.2.3). The other two are NAD(P)- dependent enzymes with each acting on either D-lactate (EC 1.1.1.28) or L-lactate (EC 1.1.1.27). This article is about the NAD(P)- dependent L-lactate dehydrogenase. The five isozymes that are usually described in the literature each contain four subunits. The major isozymes of skeletal muscle and liver, M4, has four muscle (M) subunits, while H4 is the main isozymes for heart muscle in most species, containing four heart (H) subunits. The other variants contain both types of subunits.Usually LDH-2 is the predominant form in the serum. A LDH-1 level higher than the LDH-2 level , suggests myocardial infarction. The use of this phenomenon to diagnose infarction has been largely superseded by the use of Troponin I or T measurement.
