Summary

The polymorphism of phosphohexose isomerase has been investigated in 428 subhuman Primates. 9 phosphohexose isomerase variants were found to be present. All of these are more negatively charged than the major band of PHI 1, the most common phenotype of human population. The distribution of the various PHI phenotypes has been estimated.

Zusammenfassung

Die Phosphohexoseisomerasen der Primaten zeigen eine genetisch determinierte Variabilität. Bei der Untersuchung von 428 subhumanen Primaten konnten wir 9 PHI-Varianten nachweisen, die stärker negativ geladen sind und daher mehr anodisch wandern als das Isoenzym PHI 1, das bei allen Menschenpopulationen weitaus am häufigsten vorkommt. Sie werden abweichend von der beim Menschen üblichen Nomenklatur als PHI B-J bezeichnet; PHI 1 des Menschen wäre als PHI A in dieses System einzuordnen.
