LDHB, 1-334aa, Human, E.coli (Bioactivity Validated)

LDHB, also known as L-lactate dehydrogenase B chain isoform LDHB, is a member of the lactate dehydrogenase family. It is an oxidoreductase which catalyses the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+. As this protein can also catalyze the oxidation of hydroxybutyrate. The LDH family consists of three members, LDH-A, LDH-B and LDH-C. LDHs function as powerful markers for germ cell tumors. Recombinant human LDHB protein was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
