| Abstract: | A new esterase polymorphism was identified in epididymal homogenates from inbred rat strains by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The inbred rat strains showed either fast (A) or slow (B) bands. Strain distributions of the phenotypes differed from those of other esterase loci. Genetic analyses revealed that the polymorphism is controlled by codominant alleles (Es-19a and Es-19b) and is not linked to linkage groups, I, II, IV, V, VI, XIII of the rat. |
