Ldha, also known as L-lactate dehydrogenase A chain isoform 1, is a member of the LDH/MDH superfamily and LDH family. It catalyzes the conversion of L-lactate and NAD to pyruvate and NADH in the final step of anaerobic glycolysis. This protein is found predominantly in muscle tissue. It has long been known that many human cancers have higher LDHA levels compared to normal tissues. It plays an important role in the development, invasion and metastasis of malignancies. Recombinant mouse Ldha, fused to His-Tag at C-terminal, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-332 from mouse Lactate Dehydrogenase A, fused to His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in Baculovirus.
