Summary
Genetic polymorphism of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT1) was demonstrated in human erythrocytes by isoelectric focusing in thin layer polyacrylamide gels and a sensitive and positive detection method. Using this technique, five phenotypes, GOT1 1, 2, 2-1, 3-1 and 3-2 were determined and the estimated gene frequencies ofGOT1 *1,GOT1 *2 andGOT1 *3 in the Japanese population were 0.9740, 0.0173 and 0.0087, respectively.
Zusammenfassung
Der genetische Polymorphismus der Glutamat-Oxalacetat-Transaminase (GOT1) wurde an menschlichen Erythrozyten mit Hilfe der isoelektrischen Fokussierung in Dünnschichtpolyamid-Gelen und einer empfindlichen und positiven Nachweismethode dargestellt. Mit Hilfe dieser Technik gelang der Nachweis der 5 Phänotypen GOT1 1, 2, 2-1, 3-1, 3-2. Die Genfrequenzen der AlleleGOT1 *1,GOT1 *2 undGOT1 *3 wurden in der japanischen Bevölkerung mit 0,9740, 0,0173 und 0,0087 errechnet.
