Enables L-lactate dehydrogenase activity. Involved in pyruvate catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to extracellular stimulus and glucose catabolic process to lactate via pyruvate. Located in sperm fibrous sheath. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; nervous system; respiratory system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Orthologous to human LDHA (lactate dehydrogenase A).
