Tóm tắt

A method is described for detecting the enzyme sorbit dehydrogenase (SDH) after starchgel electrophoresis. Activity of this enzyme occurs predominantly in liver, kidney, thyroid and testis. It was found that this enzyme exists in multiple molecular forms. Three electrophoretic phenotypes were observed apparently representing two different homozygotes and the corresponding heterozygote. These findings can be interpreted in terms of two alleles at one SDH locus.
