The molecular and genetic basis for lactate dehydrogenase of the mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis

Abstract Electrophoretic and immunochemical analysis of the lactate dehydrogenase isozyme patterns of several tissues of Gambusia affinis indicated that these isozymic patterns are the products of three LDH loci—A, B and C. 1. 2. The LDH-C locus showed expression restricted to neural and retinal tissue. 2. 3. The LDH-A locus was expressed principally in skeletal muscle. 3. 4. No heterozygosity of these three LDH loci was observed in this investigation.
