ESTERASE GENETICS IN MUS MUSCULUS: EXPRESSION, LINKAGE, AND POLYMORPHISM OF LOCUS Es-2

Genetic control of a serum esterase component in Mus musculus.

Comparative autosomal linkage in mammals: genetics of esterases in Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus.

Recombination between Esterase-4 and Esterase-2 in the rat was not observed in 278 backcross offspring. Es-4 is thus included within the "esterase cluster" in Linkage group V. A new map of this region was constructed and the relationship of the four esterase loci was found to be: Es-4-(9.6+/-1.6 cM)-Es-2, Es-4-(1.5+/-0.7cM)-Es-3. Homology of this region with a region of Linkage Group XVIII (Chr...

Genetic control of erythrocytic esterase forms in Mus musculus.

TARCH or agar gel electrophoresis coupled with azo dye staining methods has permitted the detection of genetically determined variants of several forms of nonspecific carboxylic esterases in a protozoan (ALLEN 1961), maize ( SCHWARTZ 1960, 1964), Drosophila (WRIGHT 1963; WRIGHT and MACINTYRE 1963), and house flies (VELTHUIS and VAN ASPEREN 1963). In mammals, inherited electrophoretic variants o...

Ontogenesis of serum esterases in Mus musculus.

INTRODUCTION Electrophoretic techniques by which mixtures of isoenzymes, and homologous proteins generally, may be resolved have become valuable tools in developmental biology. They make possible the study of development at the molecular level, in the sense that the differentiation of protein patterns underlies ontogenetic changes and tissue differences. The greater successes of this approach h...
