Lactate dehydrogenase is a quaternary structure found in humans. It has two main subunits, H and M (heart and muscle). The H form converts pyruvates to lactate, while the M form converts lactate to pyruvates. Based on the different reactions the two subunits preform, different combinations can be found throughout the body. <scene name='77/778328/4h/1'>4H</scene> is found in the heart, <scene name='77/778328/3h1m/1'>3H1M</scene> is found in the reticuloendothelial (part of the immune system), 2H2M is found in the kidneys, and 4M is found in the muscles and liver. | Lactate dehydrogenase is a quaternary structure found in humans.
