Ldhc Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable L-lactate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in lactate metabolic process and pyruvate catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within ATP biosynthetic process; flagellated sperm motility; and lactate biosynthetic process from pyruvate. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and motile cilium. Predicted to be active in cytosol and mitochondrion. Orthologous to human LDHC (lactate dehydrogenase C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 rat Ldhc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
