Specificity
This antibody recognises LDH2-5, and exhibits low reactivity with LDH1. L-lactate dehydrogenase isozymes exist as tetramers of two subunits with LDH-1 composed for 4 β chains and LDH-5 composed of 4 α chains. LDH-2 =3β:1α, LDH-3 = 2β:2α, LDH-4 = 1β:3α. Mutations in the LDHA gene can lead to the development of glycogen storage disease 11 (GSD11), a condition typified by myogloinurea, fatigue and pain.
