| Abstract: | The electrophoretic patterns of esterase D (ESD; E.C.3.1.1.1) and carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA 2, E.C.4.2.1.1) were studied in
147 specimens ofCebus apella. Three phenotypes were detected at the esterase D system,ESD
1 allele showing a frequency of 44%, markedly different from those observed in Old World monkeys. CA2 also proved to be polymorphic,
with three alleles being detected at the following frequencies:CA2
1, 98%;CA2
2 andCA2
3, both 1%. The CA2 activity was absent in newborn animals and in fetuses. |
