Lactate Dehydrogenase

Source: Recombinant, rabbit muscle produced in E. coli

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.

Please note that the source of this product has changed from native rabbit muscle form to a recombinant for expressed in E. coli.  The recombinant enzyme meets or exceeds the specifications of the native enzyme previously supplied.
