basic FUNCTION	catalyzing the conversion of L-lactate and NAD to pyruvate and NADH in the final step of anaerobic glycolysis
	in addition to its role in glycolysis, LDHC is likely part of a complex involved in ATP homeostasis that is disrupted in sperm lacking LDHC
	spermatozoa require LDHC for capacitation, motility, and fertilizing capacity
	sperm without LDHC were still able to convert lactate to pyruvate as mediated by LDHA that is tightly bound to the fibrous sheath
	expression levels of GAPDHS, PGK2 and LDHC in the spermatozoa were closely correlated with progressive sperm motility

protein

LDHC is required for LDHA expression in the sperm, and this unique functional interaction between LDH family members supports lactate dehydrogenase activity in the sperm
