Esterase. XXI. Es-9, a possibly new polymorphic esterase in Mus musculus genetically linked to es-2.
A so far undescribed gene controlling zone III esterases has been detected by means of disc gel electrophoresis of kidney homogenates from the two inbred mice strains NMRI and SK/Cam. The gene is tentatively designated Es-9, and the two codominant alleles are designated Es-9a and Es-9b. Es-9 esterases are present in many tissues, but, unlike the other zone III esterase (controlled by Es-5), are not found in the serum. Close linkage with the Es-2 gene leads us to map the Es-9 gene on chromosome 8.
