Abstract
A genetic variant of alkaline lipolytic activity (ALA), a soluble esterase found in mammalian adipose tissue, has previously been described. This “slow” variant was characterized by slower migration during starch gel electrophoresis, a decreased tendency to dimerize, and reduced enzymatic activity in constrast to the “fast” electrophoretic phenotype. The present paper identifies a homozygous (FF) and a heterozygous (Ff) “fast” phenotype which are differentiated after starch gel electrophoresis by the presence or absence of a slow band identical to that of the homozygous “slow” (ff)/it phenotype. In addition, ALA of homozygous and heterozygous “fast” rabbits differed in total enzymatic activity and its tendency to dimerize. The inheritance of this variant was proven to be Mendelian.
