Summary

Multiple phosphoglucomutase (E.C. 2.7.5.1) alleles are found in the mosquitoToxorhynchites splendens. The sample studied reveals 3Pgm alleles whose frequencies are in good accord with Hardy-Weinberg expectations. The most frequent allele is that controlling a phenotype with an intermediate electrophoretic mobility. EachPgm allele determines a two-band electrophoretic pattern.
