  2. Lactate dehydrogenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactate_dehydrogenase

    Reaction catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase. Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD +.It converts pyruvate, the final product of glycolysis, to lactate when oxygen is absent or in short supply, and it performs the reverse reaction during the Cori cycle in the liver.

    The 5 isozymes of LDH Distinction between five isozymes using electrophoresis. 1.) The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase is a tetramer made of two different sub-units, the H-form and the M-form. These combine in different combinations depending on the tissue: [7]

  5. Cardiac marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_marker

    Lactate dehydrogenase catalyses the conversion of pyruvate to lactate. LDH-1 isozyme is normally found in the heart muscle and LDH-2 is found predominantly in blood serum. A high LDH-1 level to LDH-2 suggest MI. LDH levels are also high in tissue breakdown or hemolysis. It can mean cancer, meningitis, encephalitis, or HIV. This is usually back ...

  6. Hemolytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_anemia

    Laboratory studies commonly used to investigate hemolytic anemia include blood tests for breakdown products of red blood cells, bilirubin and lactate dehydrogenase, a test for the free hemoglobin binding protein haptoglobin, and the direct Coombs test (also called direct antiglobulin test or DAT) to evaluate complement factors and/or antibodies ...

  7. Lactate dehydrogenase A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactate_dehydrogenase_A

    Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the LDHA gene. [5] It is a monomer of lactate dehydrogenase , which exists as a tetramer . The other main subunit is lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB).

    Hormones predominate at the left part of the scale, shown with a red at ng/L or pmol/L, being in very low concentration. There appears to be the greatest cluster of substances in the yellow part (μg/L or nmol/L), becoming sparser in the green part (mg/L or μmol/L).

  9. Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate_dehydrogenase...

    Pyruvate is then transported into mitochondria, where it is converted by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex into acetyl-CoA, the starting substrate of the Krebs cycle. When PDC activity is reduced or abolished by mutation, pyruvate levels rise. Excess pyruvate is then converted into lactic acid by lactate dehydrogenase.
