General description
Research area: Cell Signaling
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is classified as an oxidoreductase and is found in various organisms, including both plants and animals. LDH is widely distributed across all tissues, with high concentrations in muscle, kidney, and liver. The genes encoding LDH are LDHA, LDHB, LDHC, and LDHD. The D-isomer is produced by LDHD. There are two types of D-LDHs: NAD-dependent D-LDHs and FAD-dependent D-LDHs.

Application
D-Lactic Dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus leichmannii has been used:
- in lactate dehydrogenase activity for testing the chaperone activity of proteins
- to test the kinase activities of purified thiamine monophosphate(ThiM)
- in NADH-coupled steady-state ATPase assay
- to determine cellular lactate
In the food industry, the primary catalysis is coupled to conversion of NADH and H+ to NAD+ with diaphorase coupled with converting the non-fluorescent resazurin to the highly fluorescent substance resorufin to measure the content of D-lactate in food products.
Biochem/physiol Actions
It acts as a crucial checkpoint in gluconeogenesis and DNA metabolism. Elevated levels of LDH in the blood have been observed in various conditions, including heart attacks, cancers, liver disease, muscle trauma, anemia, bone fractures, and infections such as encephalitis, human immunodeficiency virus(HIV), and meningitis. LDH also serves as a non-specific marker of tissue turnover, which is a normal metabolic process. Additionally, reduced D-LDH activity has been found in case of mutations in LDHD found in patients with D-lactic acidosis.
D-lactic dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate into D-lactate, with oxidation of NADH to NAD+. D-lactic dehydrogenase can also catalyze the reverse reaction, conversion of D-lactate into pyruvate with reduction of NAD+ to NADH.
Unit Definition
D-lactic dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate into D-lactate, with oxidation of NADH to NAD+. D-lactic dehydrogenase can also catalyze the reverse reaction, conversion of D-lactate into pyruvate with reduction of NAD+ to NADH.
One unit will reduce 1.0 μmole of pyruvate to D-lactate per min at pH 7.0 at 25 °C.

NAD-dependent l- and d-lactate dehydrogenases coexist in Lactobacillus genomes and may convert pyruvic acid into l-lactic acid and d-lactic acid, respectively. Our findings suggest that the relative catalytic efficiencies of ldhL- and ldhD-encoded products are crucial for the optical purity

Aerobically grown yeast cells express mitochondrial lactate dehydrogenases that localize to the mitochondrial inner membrane. The D-lactate dehydrogenase is a zinc-flavoprotein with high acceptor specificity for cytochrome c, that catalyzes the oxidation of D-lactate into pyruvate. In this paper, we

A dye-linked D-lactate dehydrogenase from the aerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method with polyethylene glycol 8000 as the precipitant. The crystals belonged to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 63.4
