Lactate dehydrogenase A, also known as LDHA, is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the LDHA gene.[1]

Function

Lactate dehydrogenase A catalyzes the conversion of L-lactate and NAD+ to pyruvate and NADH in the final step of anaerobic glycolysis. LDHA is found predominantly in muscle tissue and belongs to the lactate dehydrogenase family. Mutations in LDHA have been linked to exertional myoglobinuria.[2]
