Function

Interconverts simultaneously and stereospecifically pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD(+).

Involvement in disease

Glycogen storage disease 11

GSD11

A metabolic disorder that results in exertional myoglobinuria, pain, cramps and easy fatigue.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Pathway

Fermentation; pyruvate fermentation to lactate; (S)-lactate from pyruvate: step 1/1.

Post-translational modifications

ISGylated.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the LDH/MDH superfamily. LDH family.

Tissue specificity

Predominantly expressed in anaerobic tissues such as skeletal muscle and liver.
