Analyses of enzymes found in the blood are used as indicators that tissue damage (heart, liver, muscle) has occurred and resulted in the leakage of cellular enzymes into the bloodstream. One of the common enzymes measured for this purpose is the one that interconverts lactate and pyruvate. Identify the name of this enzyme.

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)

Explanation:

LDH is tetrameric enzyme found in the muscles (M-type) and the heart (H-type) of living cells, responsible for the conversion of pyruvate to lactate and back, to promote generation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD).
