title: Lactate dehydrogenase in teleosts. The role of LDH-C4 isozyme.
abstract: 1. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) occupies an important position in cell metabolism. 2. Teleosts possess at least three genetic loci coding for lactate dehydrogenase subunits, Ldh-A, Ldh-B and Ldh-c. LDH exists in most tissues in several isozymic forms. 3. The isozyme LDH-C4 is synthesized predominantly in regions of the nervous system concerned with the eye.
