Esterase D and carbonic anhydrase 2 in a natural population of Cebus apella from Brazil

The electrophoretic patterns of esterase D (ESD; E.C.3.1.1) and carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA 2, E.C.4.2.1.1) were studied in 147 specimens of Cebus apella . Three phenotypes were detected at the esterase D system, ESD super(1) allele showing a frequency of 44%, markedly different from those observed in...

Description
Summary:The electrophoretic patterns of esterase D (ESD; E.C.3.1.1) and carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA 2, E.C.4.2.1.1) were studied in 147 specimens of Cebus apella . Three phenotypes were detected at the esterase D system, ESD super(1) allele showing a frequency of 44%, markedly different from those observed in Old World monkeys. CA2 also proved to be polymorphic, with three alleles being detected at the following frequencies: CA2 super(1), 98%; CA2 super(2), both 1%. The CA2 activity was absent in newborn animals and in fetuses.
