Identification and linkage relationships of three hexokinase genes in Aedes aegypti

Biochem Genet. 1978 Jun;16(5-6):571-5. doi: 10.1007/BF00484220.

Abstract

Four regions of hexokinase activity are detected by starch gel electrophoresis of adult Aedes aegypti. Three of the regions, Hk-2, Hk-3, and Hk-4, are produced by three tightly linked loci, located on the third chromosome 7.25 map units from the locus fuzzy. The three loci show developmental differences as well as differences in substrate specificity.
