Reproductive implications of LDH-C4 and other testis-specific isozymes.
This paper briefly reviews the biological properties and occurrence of selected testis-specific isozymes. These include phosphoglycerate kinase B, cytochrome ct, enolase S, and lactate dehydrogenase C4 (LDH-C4). The most extensively studies of these, LDH-C4, is described in detail with particular reference to its potential in an immunocontraceptive technology.
