LDHD lactate dehydrogenase D

Gene ID: 197257, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DLD; DLACD

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family. The similar protein in yeast has both D-lactate and D-glycerate dehydrogenase activities. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
