Summary
This gene encodes the B subunit of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme, which catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate with concomitant interconversion of NADH and NAD+ in a post-glycolysis process. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have also been found for this gene. Recent studies have shown that a C-terminally extended isoform is produced by use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon via a stop codon readthrough mechanism, and that this isoform is localized in the peroxisomes. Pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 1 and 19. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

mRNA and Protein(s)

  1. NM_001302765.1NP_001289694.1  L-lactate dehydrogenase B chain isoform 2

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an exon in the 3' coding region, which results in a frameshift and a different 3' UTR compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) is shorter with a distinct C-terminus compared to isoform Ldhb.

  2. NM_001316322.1NP_001303251.1  L-lactate dehydrogenase B chain isoform Ldhbx

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (1) encodes two isoforms, which result from the use of alternative in-frame translation termination codons. The shorter isoform (Ldhb) results from translation termination at the upstream UGA stop codon, while the longer isoform (Ldhbx) results from UGA stop codon readthrough to the downstream UAG termination codon. This RefSeq represents the longer, C-terminally extended isoform (Ldhbx), which is localized in the peroxisomes. As the UGA stop codon has been reported to specify several alternative amino acids (tryptophan, cysteine, arginine and serine), its location in the longer isoform is denoted by an 'X'.
