Human red cell glyoxalase I polymorphism

Biochem Genet. 1977 Feb;15(1-2):109-13. doi: 10.1007/BF00484553.

Abstract

Human erythrocyte glyoxalase I has been subjected to starch gel electrophoresis, and its isoenzymatic forms have been visualized by a new positive staining procedure. The enzyme exhibits polymorphism and holds promise as a useful new genetic marker.
