Polymorphism of erythrocyte malic enzyme in the goat

Anim Genet. 1995 Aug;26(4):275-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2052.1995.tb03255.x.

Abstract

Three electrophoretic variants of erythrocyte malic enzyme (ME) in goats were reported. Inheritance data indicate that they are controlled by codominant alleles. The allele frequencies in four Mediterranean populations are given.
