Expression of Lactate Dehydrogenase in the Black Sea Shrimp Palaemon elegans

Abstract

The activity of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme was studied in the Black Sea shrimp <i>Palaemon elegans</i>. To detect the activity of lactate dehydrogenase, the electrophoretic method and the histochemical reaction of the formation of its products were used. The highest expression was found when shrimp homogenate was prepared in a phosphate buffer with pH of 7.4. Totally two forms of the enzyme have been identified. The results of determining the activity of the studied enzyme are presented.
