title: Genetic polymorphism of red cell glutamate-pyruvate transaminase in Japanese.
abstract: Six hundred and eight red cell hemolysates were screened for glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) by means of isoelectric focusing. Two new variant phenotypes were detected, neither of which could be distinguished from GPT2-1 and GPT2 by conventional starch gel electrophoresis. The two types were considered to correspond to GPT2B-1 and GPT2A-2C reported previously in samples of European origin.
