SYNONYMS
L-lactate dehydrogenase A chain, LDH-A, LDH muscle subunit, LDH-M.
INTRODUCTION
LDHA catalyzes the conversion of L-lactate and NAD to pyruvate and NADH in the final step of anaerobic glycolysis. LDHA is localized primarily in muscle tissue and is part of the lactate dehydrogenase family. Mutations in LDHA have been linked to exertional myoglobinuria. LDH1 is decreased in essential thrombocythemia. LDHA is induced through a non-genomic pathway of estrogen action. Reduction in LDH-A activity results in stimulation of mitochondrial respiration and decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential.
DESCRIPTION
LDHA Rat Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 340 amino acids (1-332 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 37.5kDa (Migrates at 28-40kDa on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions).
LDHA is fused to an 8 amino acid His-tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
