Gene Symbol | LDHB |
Entrez Gene ID | 281275 |
Full Name | lactate dehydrogenase B |
General protein information |
|
Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Bos taurus(cattle) |
Summary | This gene encodes the B subunit of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme, which catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+ in a post-glycolysis process. Recent studies have shown that two protein isoforms are produced from the same mRNA by use of alternative in-frame translation termination codons via a stop codon readthrough mechanism, and that these C-terminally distinct isoforms have different subcellular localization. Pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 1 and 11. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]. |
