title: Sorbitol dehydrogenase (EC.1.1.1.14) polymorphism in human seminal plasma.
abstract: Sorbitol dehydrogenase was electrophoretically determined in 173 different samples of human seminal plasma in cellulose acetate as support media. This method permitted the identification of three phenotypes : one with a slow band, one with a fast band and the third with both slow and fast bands. These findings can be explained either by the presence of two alleles at a different SORD locus determining the enzyme in seminal plasma or by the formation of secondary isozymes.
