GENETICAL STUDIES ON SERUM ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE ISOZYME IN THE JAPANESE QUAIL

抄録

By means of agar gel electrophoresis, serum alkaline phosphatase of the Japanese quail was separated into two polymorphic regions, and it was found that there existed F-pattern appearing in the fast mobility region (Akp-1) and A, B and C pattern in the slow mobility region (Akp-2) on the anode side. With respect to Akp-2 region, six phenotypes were observed: AA, AB, BB, BC, AC and CC. These phenotypes were shown to be controlled by three autosomal co-dominant alleles: Akp-2^A, Akp-2^B and Akp-2^C. Gene frequencies in the total population were: q Akp-2^A, 0.081; q Akp-2^B, 0.552; q Akp-2^C, 0.367.
