Abstract
REDUCED activity of the glycolytic enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase (EC 2723 : ATP : 3 phospho-D-glycerate 1 phosphotransferase, PGK) is associated with hereditary haemolytic anaemia1–3. A family study suggests that the gene involved is sex linked. Beutler has described a starch gel technique for electrophoresing and detecting the human erythrocytic enzyme4. He examined Caucasian, Negro and Oriental blood donors and found no variants. We have surveyed several hundred erythrocyte samples from a number of species of kangaroos (Macropodidae) using his technique.
