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 quaternary structure found in humans.
