Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables L-lactate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in NAD metabolic process; lactate metabolic process; and pyruvate metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within lactate biosynthetic process from pyruvate. Located in mitochondrion and myelin sheath. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human LDHB (lactate dehydrogenase B).
