CATEGORY

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular

	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,membrane
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	catalyzing the conversion of L-lactate and NAD to pyruvate and NADH in the final step of anaerobic glycolysis
	oxidative stress induces not only poly-ubiquitination but also mono-ubiquitination of LDHA, which may be involved in its lysosomal degradation during unloading
	may mediate tumor growth and metastasic effects in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
	sperm without LDHC were still able to convert lactate to pyruvate as mediated by LDHA that is tightly bound to the fibrous sheath
	LDHA is critically important for sustaining the rapid angiogenesis of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells
	LDHA is the master regulator of aerobic glycolysis; it actively reduces pyruvate and causes enhanced lactate levels in tumor tissues
	is indispensable for vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration
	release of LDHA from degenerating neurons drives central nervous system (CNS) angiogenesis
	LDHA has a key role in aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect) through regeneration of the electron acceptor NAD+ and is widely regarded as a desirable target for cancer therapeutics
	key enzyme in glycolysis, that is highly expressed in a variety of tumors and catalyzes pyruvate to lactate
	LDHA has a higher affinity for pyruvate, preferentially converting pyruvate to lactate, and NADH to NAD+ in anaerobic conditions
	role of LDHA and LDHB to control apoptosis and autophagy in tumor cells

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

	anaerobic glycolysis, final step
	FOXM1-LDHA signaling functioned as a stimulator of glycolysis and promoted Gastric cancer progression

a component

KCNJ11 acts as an oncogene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) though forming a complex with LDHA

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	tyrosine phosphorylation of LDHA is important for NADH/NAD(+) redox homeostasis in cancer cells
	TNFSF11-induced LDHA, LDHB activation stimulates glycolytic and mitochondrial respiratory metabolism, facilitating mature osteoclast formation via osteoclast precursor fusion and NFATC1 signaling
	phosphorylation-induced activation of LDHA, an enzyme that catalyses the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate, promotes cancer cell invasion, anoikis resistance and tumour metastasis
	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
	TP53 negatively regulates LDHA expression by directly binding its promoter region
	interaction of MTA1 with MYC and recruitment of MTA1-MYC complex on to the LDHA promoter to regulate its transcription
	PCK1 reduces the stability of LDHA through posttranslational regulation and the effects of PCK1 on glucose metabolism, cell proliferation and metastasis are mediated via the inhibition of LDHA
	POU1F1 induces a metabolic reprogramming through LDHA regulation in breast tumor cells, modifying the phenotype of both cancer cells and fibroblasts to promote cancer progression
