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. 4H is found in the heart, 3H1M 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 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. During intense exercise our body requires a larger amount of oxygen, and glycolysis becomes our main source of energy. In order for glycolysis to work smoothly and avoid access NADH, we need available oxygen. This is where LDH (lactase dehydrogenase) comes into play. LDH converts pyruvate into lactate, giving our body more ATP. When we halt the exercise and take a deep breath LDH converts the lactate back to pyruvate, and we continue on our normal aerobic pathway of glycolysis.
