Amylase iso-enzymes in primates of the families Lemuridae, Cebidae, Cercopithecidae, Hylobatidae and Pongidae.

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the first data in the alpha-amylase iso-enzymes in primates of the families Lemuridae, Cebidae, Cercopithecidae, Hylobatidae and Pongidae. By means of agar-gel electrophoresis of urine samples from 33 individuals belonging to ten species of the above mentioned families a total of 14 different variants of amylase heterogeneity were found.
