    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in anaerobic glycolysis, final step
  • LDHB suppression plays an important role in triggering or maintaining the mitochondrial defects and then contributes to cancer cell invasiveness by inducing CLDN1 protein
  • LDHB is a regulator of cell proliferation in a subset of lung adenocarcinoma
  • LDHB activity is necessary for basal autophagy and cancer cell proliferation not only in oxidative cancer cells but also in glycolytic cancer cells
  • LDHB possess a higher affinity for lactate, preferentially converting lactate to pyruvate, and NAD+ to NADH, when oxygen is abundant
  • is a key glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate
  • role of LDHA and LDHB to control apoptosis and autophagy in tumor cells

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • TNFSF11-induced LDHA, LDHB activation stimulates glycolytic and mitochondrial respiratory metabolism, facilitating mature osteoclast formation via osteoclast precursor fusion and NFATC1 signaling
  • TIGAR enhanced the expression of LDHB and the mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) markers, PPARGC1A, and NRF1, during neural stem cells (NSCs) diferentiation

    may be closely related with the early onset or progression of age-related hearing loss (ARHL)
    constitutional     --other  
    increased LDHA/LDHB ratio causes high brain lactate levels, which, in turn, are predictive of aging phenotypes

    Candidate gene
    Marker
  • LDHB can be considered as a prognostic marker for tumor recurrence and poor overall survival in osteosarcoma
  • LDHB expression is a valuable prognostic biomarker for HCC and that low LDHB expression suggests unfavorable survival outcomes in HCC patients
    • Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Ldhb knockout mice showed hearing loss at high frequencies, which is the typical feature of age-related hearing loss (ARHL)
