Lactate dehydrogenase is an enzyme used for anaerobic respiration in humans. Anaerobic respiration is respiration without the involvement of oxygen.

Anaerobic respiration is respiration without the involvement of oxygen. It is used during intense exercises or other strenuous activities, when one is lacking available oxygen. LDH is mainly found in the heart, liver, kidney, and muscles of the body; each with a slightly different composition. Lactate dehydrogenase is a quaternary structure found in humans. It has two main subunits, H and M (heart and muscle).Based on the different reactions the two subunits preform, different combinations can be found throughout the body. Lactate dehydrogenase is a main component of anaerobic respiration within the human body. This molecule come into play when there is a lack of oxygen, such as during intense exercise. | ||
