Abstract
LDH is localized along various intracytoplasmatic membranes of osteoclasts. Macrophages show membrane-bound LDH only after phagocytosis of calcium hydroxylapatite, the main mineral constituent of bone. The localization of LDH in these macrophages is almost the same as in osteoclasts. The significance of this finding, and its possible implication in the process of bone resorption and the origin of osteoclasts are discussed.Entities:
