Abstract Isozyme patterns of nucleoside phosphorylase (NP) in 16 inbred strains, two recombinant inbred, one congenic, and three species of wild mice were studied. Evidence is provided for a genetic locus, Np-2, encoding an electrophoretic variant which is expressed exclusively in erythrocytes of certain inbred strains. This finding establishes the occurrence of genetic polymorphism of NP among inbred strains of mice. In addition, the Npl a allele previously reported only in inbred strains has been observed in one of the species of wild mice (Mus musculus castaneus) studied.
