Lactate dehydrogenase
From The School of Biomedical Sciences Wiki
Lactate Dehydrogenase also known as LDH is an enzyme which is used in anaerobic respiration (glycolysis). LDH is needed to oxidise the co-enzyme NADH to NAD+ in order to provide the cell with energy (2ATP). [1] The NADH+ has to be oxidised so that it can be reduced again to continue the cycle. The LDH converts pyruvate to lactate during this process.
