[Isolation and properties of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes from loach (Misgurnus fossilis) skeletal muscles and eggs].

The main lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) isozyme from loach (Misgurnus fossilis) skeletal muscles was purified to homogeneity by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The main group of lactate dehydrogenase isozymes which predominate in their activity in the unfertilized eggs of this teleost species and are stable to AgNO3 inhibition were partially purified. The effects of various concentrations of pyruvate, oxalate and urea on the activities of these purified enzyme preparations and their pH optima were studied. The antiserum for the purified lactate dehydrogenase isozyme from loach skeletal muscle was obtained. The decrease of the activity of this isozyme and that of the investigated group of isozymes from the eggs in the presence of increasing concentrations of antiserum was estimated.
