Introduction
Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) is an enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+. It is found in a variety of organisms, including animals, plants, and bacteria. LDHA is a tetrameric enzyme, meaning that it is composed of four subunits. Each subunit has a molecular weight of approximately 35 kDa. LDHA is a key enzyme in anaerobic glycolysis, which is the process by which cells produce energy from glucose in the absence of oxygen. In addition to its role in anaerobic glycolysis, LDHA is also involved in a number of other cellular processes, including gluconeogenesis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and the malate-aspartate shuttle. LDHA has been implicated in a number of diseases, including cancer, obesity, and diabetes. Inhibitors of LDHA are being investigated as potential treatments for these diseases.
