LDHA is a key enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate into lactate while regenerating NAD+, essential for glycolysis.
Elevated levels of LDHA have been associated with increased tumor growth and survival. By promoting lactate production, cancer cells can create an acidic microenvironment that may facilitate invasion and metastasis.
Is often upregulated in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, colorectal, and prostate cancers. This upregulation is associated with the metabolic shift that cancer cells undergo to support rapid growth and proliferation.
Measuring the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a useful method for detection of necrosis.
