  • Title: Partial characterization of an abnormal lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme, LDH-1ex, in serum from a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma.
    Author: Kalpaxis DL, Giannoulaki EE.
    Journal: Clin Chem; 1989 May; 35(5):844-8. PubMed ID: 2470536.
    Abstract:
    Serum from a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma contained an abnormal isoenzyme of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; EC 1.1.1.27), LDH-1ex, that on electrophoresis on 10-g/L agarose gel migrated anodally to the LDH-1 band. This isoenzyme was partly purified by ultrafiltration and preparative electrophoresis. Gel chromatography and sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis studies of the resulting LDH-1ex preparation suggested that this isoenzyme is probably a tetramer made up of four single polypeptide chains (monomers), each having a molecular mass of about 32,000 Da. LDH-1ex was heat stable and reacted more readily with 2-hydroxybutyrate than did the slower migrating LDH-4 and LDH-5 isoenzymes. LDH-1ex showed no activity when lactate was omitted from the substrate solution or replaced by ethanol.
