Abstract
We studied properties of lactate dehydrogenase isozymes expressed at different stages of Danio rerioontogenesis. H4-LDH and a minor fraction H3M1are expressed during embryonic development. The muscle isozyme (Н4) appears after the beginning of muscle contractions in the embryo. Н4and М4isozymes isolated from the heart and skeletal muscle of the adult fish, respectively, show significant differences in terms of Michaelis constant (K m) activation energy (AE), and inactivation temperature. H4-LDH isozymes isolated from unfertilized eggs, the skeletal muscle of larvae, and the heart of the adult fish differ inK mand activation energy, as well as in inactivation temperature. We propose that these differences may be associated with a ligand interacting with the H4isozyme at different steps of ontogenesis.
