Title: Tissue Specificity of Three Isozymes in Procypris rabaudi
Abstract: Using the vertical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis,lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),malate dehydrogenase(MDH) and esterase(EST) isozymes from six tissues(brain,eye,heart,liver,kidney and muscle) of adult Procypris rabaudi were studied,and the loci and phenotypes of the isozymes in every tissue were also investigated.The results showed that the three isozymic systems of P.rabaudi had tissue-specific expression in different degrees.LDH was encoded by three loci,and the site Ldh-C was only expressed in liver;s-MDHs had been expressed in six tissues of P.rabaudi,and the stronger activity was found in the liver and kidney.m-MDHs had been expressed in four tissues(brain,heart,kidney and muscle),and EST data showed that this isozyme was encoded by five loci,and the isozyme pattern was very complicated.Among them,Est-2 was the common band in six tissues,and its strongest activity was found in liver.
