In general, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is often used as a marker of tissue breakdown. lactate dehydrogenase shows a cytoplasmic localization. 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 each 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.

This lactate dehydrogenase antibody appears in Material and Methods of many publications. Especially this antibody is being used for ELISA, Western Blotting and Immunoprecipitation. Publication references for the lactate dehydrogenase antibody are listed on the datasheet.
