title: Polymorphic protein expression (profile) in numigall.
abstract: Ten protein and enzyme polymorphic systems, viz. haemoglobin, albumin, transferrin, adenosine deaminase, adenylate kinase phosphoglucomutase, esterase-D, glyoxalase, alkaline phosphatase and amylase were studied in numigall (guinea fowl x chicken hybrids) to assess structural gene expression and regulatory gene divergence between the parental species. The investigation revealed presence of both the maternal and paternal electrophoretic components in case of adenosine deaminase, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, albumin and transferrin although no clear differences could be identified for haemoglobin and glyoxalase. Esterase-D and adenylate kinase phenotypes showed a dominance of the chicken type.
