- Abstract
This article reports that the enzyme PGM (E.C. 2.7.5.1.) which catalyzes the reversible transfer of phosphate from the first to the sixth position of glucose, is controlled by Kenes at three seperate loci: only the products of genes at two of these loci can be detected in red cell lysates, but all three are found in extracts of various other human tissues, including leucocytes and placenta. The present report extends the study of genetic variation at the third locus of PGM to white and aboriginal populations in Australia and to an indigenous population in Papua New Guinea, and draws attention to some of the technical problems associated with accurate typing of PGM phenotypes.
