Abstract

Lactate dehydrogenase is present in most tissues as a series of 5 tetrameric isoenzymes, but in semen 6 isoenzymes can be found. The sixth is LDH C4 or X which is specific for semen and has never been observed in any male and female tissues other than testes and spermatozoa (Wheat and Goldberg 1983).
