Gene for Neuraminidase Activity on Mouse Chromosome 17 Near H-2: Pleiotropic Effects on Multiple Hydrolases

Abstract
The low activity of liver neuraminidase that is characteristic of mouse strain SM/J is inherited as a single gene on chromosome 17, near the major histocompatibility complex. This gene, neuraminidase-1 ( Neu-1 ), is represented by the low activity allele Neu-1 s in SM/J and the high activity allele Neu-1 b in C57BL/6J and most other strains. Previously described variations in the posttranslational processing of acid phosphatase, α-mannosidase, arylsulfatase-B, and α-glucosidase are attributed to pleiotropic effects of this gene.
