Background
Two naturally occurring forms of lactate dehydrogenase with similar but unique substrate specificities have been isolated in lower organisms including invertebrates, fungi, and prokaryotes. These dehydrogenase enzymes are L-lactate dehydrogenase and D-lactate dehydrogenase (LDHD) that are specific to the L and D isomers of lactate, respectively (PMID: 12127981). In lactic acid bacteria, LDHD plays a key role in anaerobic energy metabolism (PMID: 497162). Despite the identification of D-lactate and other D-2-hydroxyacids in prokaryotes, and the obvious connections and similarities to vertebrate metabolic pathways, very few mammalian D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases have been found. LDHD has 2 isoforms with the molecular weight of 52 and 54 kDa, and can be detected as 45-54 kDa.
