LDHD Gene Summary [Human]
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family. The similar protein in yeast has both D-lactate and D-glycerate dehydrogenase activities. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human LDHD often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- FAD binding domain
- FAD linked oxidases, C-terminal domain
- glycolate oxidase, subunit GlcD
- D-lactate dehydrogenase (cytochrome)
- enzyme
- protein binding
- D-lactate dehydrogenase
