Testis-Specific Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH-C4) in Skeletal Muscle Enhances Apika’s Sprint-Running Capacity in Hypoxic Environment
LDH-C4 is a lactate dehydrogenase that catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate. In mammals, ldh-c was originally thought to be expressed only in testis and spermatozoa. Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae), which belongs to the genus Ochotona of the Ochotonidea family, is a hypoxia tolerant mam...
