Abstract
GENETICALLY determined isoenzymes of human erythrocyte adenylate kinase (AK), ATP : AMP phosphotransferase E.C. 2.7.4.3, have been reported1,2. We have characterized several forms of AK in different organs of Wistar rats, employing a mixed agarose-acrylamide gel electrophoresis3. The electrophoretic behaviour of AK was studied in tissues taken from the same animal. Extracts of muscle, heart, eye lens, brain, liver and erythrocytes have been compared.
