LDH antibodies are immunological tools used to detect markers expressed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate. LDH has 5 isoforms and is made of two subunits – M (muscle) and H (heart). The subunits combine and form five variants – LDH 1-5. They differ in distribution, with LDH 1 and 2 present in the brain, heart, and kidneys, while LDH 3 and 4 are present in endocrine glands. If tissue injury occurs, the respective LDH will be present in plasma, thus allowing it to be used to detect the area of injury. It is used as an indicator of heart conditions, liver disease, bone fractures, and cancers. LDH antibodies can be used for Western blot, immunoprecipitation, and ELISA kits.
