Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables L-lactate dehydrogenase activity. Involved in pyruvate catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within ATP biosynthetic process; flagellated sperm motility; and lactate metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and motile cilium. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human LDHC (lactate dehydrogenase C).
