General description

Research area: Cell Signaling
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:
  • as a component of activation and relaxing solution in ATPase activity and isometric steady-state tension measurements with muscle fiber
  • in Trypanosoma congolense pyruvate kinase activity assay
  • in pyruvate kinase (PK) assay with rice plastidic PK enzyme OsPK2

Biochem/physiol Actions

Muscle-type Lactic Dehydrogenase (LDH) participates in metabolic pathways and its activity is essential for anaerobic glycolysis. LDH activity is inhibited by ascorbate. LDH regenerates nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) from NADH and is industrially useful in poly(lactic acid) production. In the absence of oxygen, LDH participates in a fermentation reaction, catalyzes pyruvate into lactic acid, and oxidizes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to NAD+. Therefore, LDH mediates the production of NAD+ essential anaerobic glycolysis pathway. Through this LDH helps maintain the physiological and biochemical functions of the cell in the absence of oxygen.
Also catalyzes the oxidation of other L-2-hydroxymonocarboxylic acids.

Unit Definition

Muscle-type LDH (LDH-m4) activity is critical for efficient anaerobic glycolysis. The results here show that rabbit LDH-M4 is inhibited by concentrations of ascorbate normally found in tissues. Aldolase and muscle G-actin were found to protect and to reverse inhibitions of
