Red-cell enzymes and serum proteins among Brahmins and Kammas of coastal Andhra Pradesh, India.
Haemolysate and plasma samples from Brahmin and Kamma caste populations of coastal Andhra Pradesh have been examined by electrophoresis on horizontal starch gels for red-cell enzymes and plasma proteins, namely ACP, SOD, LDH, MDH, Hp, Tf, Cp and ALB. Higher frequencies compared to other populations for ACPb and Hp2 alleles were recorded. The only variant found is one Tf C-slow phenotype among the Kammas, and the rest of the loci studied are monomorphic.
