Biological function summary
Lactate dehydrogenase plays a critical role in anaerobic glycolysis. The enzyme helps in regenerating NAD+ from NADH allowing glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen. LDH is not a part of any larger protein complex working independently to fulfill its function in the glycolytic pathway. It serves in rapid energy production especially under hypoxic or exertional conditions where oxygen supply is limited.
Pathways
LDH is significantly involved in the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways. Within glycolysis LDH helps facilitate the conversion of pyruvate to lactate during anaerobic conditions a step important for ATP production when oxygen is scarce. The enzyme is tied closely to phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) in glycolysis given that both enzymes are central to maintaining the glycolytic flow. In gluconeogenesis though functionally reversed from its role in glycolysis LDH helps to manage lactate removal an important step for glucose synthesis from non-carbohydrate sources.
