- Abstract
Human lactate dehydrogenase B (LDH-B) cDNA was isolated and sequenced. The LDH-B cDNA insert consists of the protein-coding sequence (999 bp), the 5' (54 bp) and 3' (203 bp) non-coding regions, and the poly(A) tail (50 bp). The predicted sequence of 333 amino acid residues was confirmed by amino acid composition and/or sequence analyses of a total of 185 (56%) residues from tryptic peptides of human LDH-B protein. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the human LDH-B coding region show 68% and 75% homologies respectively with those of the human LDH-A. The peptide map and amino acid composition data have been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50139 (7 pages) at the British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies are available on prepayment [see Biochem. J. (1987) 241, 5].
