Summary

Different LDH isoenzyme patterns are present in oocytes or unfertilized egg cells of different mammals. While in species of the orders Rodentia and Lagomorpha only LDH1 (β-subunits) has been found, species of the order Carnivora and Artiodactyla show further LDH isoenzymes, indicating the participation of α-subunits.

Zusammenfassung

In Oocyten oder unbefruchteten Eizellen verschiedener Säuger finden sich verschiedene LDH-Isoenzymmuster. Während bei Species der Ordnungen Rodentia und Lagomorpha stets nur LDH1 (β-Untereinheiten) gefunden wurden, zeigten Arten der Ordnungen Carnivora und Artiodactyla weitere LDH-Isoenzyme, die auf Beteiligung von α-Untereinheiten schließen lassen.
