Significance of Sub-bands of Lactic Dehydrogenase Isozymes

Nature volume 210, pages 1268–1270 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

THE five isozymes of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) usually observed after electrophoresis of vertebrate tissue homogenates are generally considered to result from the five possible combinations of two basic sub-units. A and B, combined into tetramer units1,2. The synthesis of each of the two sub-units is believed to be under the control of separate genes, which together account for the total isozyme composition1,2.
