- Abstract
Human genomic clones containing parts of testis-specific lactate dehydrogenase-C gene of approximately 40 kilobases in length were isolated and characterized. The protein-coding sequence of human LDH-C gene is interrupted by six introns at positions homologous to those of mammalian LDH-A (muscle) and LDH-B (heart) genes, and exhibits 21%, 24% and 34% nucleotide differences with those of mouse LDH-C, human LDH-A and LDH-B genes, respectively.
