LDHB

(Lactate dehydrogenase B)

 

  • Alias                                 (According to NCBI)

 

  • LDH-H, TRG-5

 

  • The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of L-lactate and NAD to pyruvate and NADH in the final step of anaerobic glycolysis. The protein is found predominantly in muscle tissue and belongs to the lactate dehydrogenase family. Mutations in this gene have been linked to exertional myoglobinuria. [provided by RefSeq]
