HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Accession:HP:0032653 term browser browse the term
Definition:An abnormal increase in the molar ratio of lactate to pyruvate in the blood circulation.
Comment:The lactate:pyruvate (L:P) ratio reflects the equilibrium between the product and substrate of the reaction catalyzed by lactase dehydrogenase and indirectly reflects the NADH:NAD+ cytoplasmic redox state. When cellular respiration or mitochondrial oxidative metabolism is impaired, such as in inborn errors of components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, there is an increase in reducing equivalents (excess NADH and absence of NAD+) which results in an elevated L:P molar ratio.
