The tetrameric lactate dehydrogenases (LDH) of vertebrates contain several different subunits that arose by gene duplication. While the A and B subunits occur in all classes of gnathostomes, the enzymes of agnathans appear to represent two stages in the evolution of vertebrate LDH. Lampreys of the f
