title: Human saliva esterases: genetic studies.
abstract: Esterases from human saliva have been demonstrated by the zymogram technique. Three phenotypes were found in region 1. Family and population studies suggested that these phenotypes are the products of an autosomal locus with two alleles, Set-1F and Set-1S. Region 1 esterases are carboxylesterases.
