| pubmed-article:2917988 | pubmed:abstractText | Two cDNA clones were isolated, one corresponding to the mRNA coding for lactate dehydrogenase-M (LDH-M), the other to the mRNA coding for lactate dehydrogenase-H (LDH-H). The cDNA inserts consist of the entire open reading frame for LDH-M and a partial sequence, from amino acid 117 to 332, for LDH-H. Using these two clones as probes we demonstrate that: (a) the abundance of mRNA is muscle-type dependent; (b) the ratio M/H subunit for protein and mRNA is well related in the muscles studied; and (c) the M + H mRNA level is not relative to the total LDH activity. | lld:pubmed |
