Abstract

The polymorphism of human phosphoglucomutase (PGM 1), well known in blood, has been shown to be present in semen and vaginal secretions (Culliford 1971; Brinkmann and Koops 1971 ). The extended polymorphism of PGM 1 later revealed in blood by isoelectric focusing, was reported in semen as well (Sutton 1979).
