A new allele of glucose phosphate isomerase in dogs.
A new variant of red cell glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI), designated GPI-C, was observed in the chow-chow breed of dog. GPI-C could be separated from the previously reported dog GPI variants (A and B), both by starch gel electrophoresis and by isoelectric focusing (pH 3-10). Family data supported the hypothesis that GPI-C is controlled by a third codominant allele (GPI C). GPI C occurred as a rare allele in the Dutch chow-chow population.
