Abstract

Cancer-associated lactate dehydrogenase is a tyrosylphosphorylated form of human skeletal muscle isoenzyme, since the partial amino acid sequences of human liver LDH-K/A protein were found to be identical with the known primary structure of human LDH-A isoenzyme and the LDH-A isoenzymes from human placenta and bovine muscle were shown to be tyrosylphosphorylated. This tyrosylphosphorylated LDH-K/A protein was also found to be complexed with 21 kD, 30 kD, and 56 kD proteins.
