Lactate dehydrogenase is also known as L-lactate dehydrogenase A chain, LDH-A, LDH muscle subunit and LDH-M. Two isozymes of LDH occur in mammals, LDH-M and LDH-H which come together to form a homotetramer of 36 kDa subunits. Every LDH molecule consists of four subunits, where each subunit is either H or M (based on their electrophoretic properties.) There are, therefore, five LDH isotypes: LDH-1 (4H) - in the heart, LDH-2 (3H1M) - in the reticuloendothelial system, LDH-3 (2H2M) - in the lungs, LDH-4 (1H3M) - in the kidneys and LDH-5 (4M) - in the liver and striated muscle. Usually LDH-2 is the predominant form in the serum. An LDH-1 level higher than the LDH-2 level (a ''flipped pattern'') suggests myocardial infarction (damage to heart tissues releases heart LDH, which is rich in LDH-1, into the bloodstream). LDH complex works to prevent muscle failure and fatigue. LDH can be measured when released during tissue breakdown. LDH appears normally throughout the body, and LDH levels rise with many cancers, so it can be used as a tumor marker but not as a cancer identifier. Anti-Lactate Dehydrogenase Antibody is useful for researcher interested in cancer and metabolism research.
This antibody was prepared from whole goat serum produced by repeated immunizations with a full length lactate dehydrogenase protein isolated from rabbit muscle.

Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
