Es-3 ESTERASES IN ERYTHROCYTES OF MUS MUSCULUS

Abstract

An esterase found in low frequency in the erythrocytes of wild mice is probably controlled by a fourth allele, tentatively designated Es-3d, at the Es-3 locus. Attempts to characterize this new esterase, using substrate specificity, temperature sensitivity, and interaction with eserine sulphate and iodoacetamide, have shown it to behave like the other esterases controlled by this locus.
