Study on isozyme electrophoresis ofMartes zibellina L.

Abstract

Four isozymes, such as Malate dehydrogenase (MDH), Alchol dehydrogenase (ADH), Peroxidae (POD) and Esterase (EST) in six tissues (heart, liver, kidney, muscle, eye, gonad) ofMartes zibellina L., were analyzed by means of vertical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The results indicated that the zymograms of these four isozymes in different tissues were different from each other, i.e. there existed apparent tissue-specificitity in these isozymes inMartes zibellina L.. Characteristic enzyme band was found both in POD zymogram and in EST zymogram. Moreover, the characteristic enzyme band in POD isozyme would be of some value to sexual identification ofMartes zibellina L.
