Mitochondrial malic enzyme (E.C. 1.1.1.40) in human leukocytes: Formal genetics and population genetics

Abstract
Mitochondrial malic enzyme MEM (E.C. 1.1.1.40) is present in human leukocytes; the polymorphism of MEM thus can be easily demonstrated using routine starch gel electrophoresis. Data on formal genetics are given. The gene frequency of ME 1 M was estimated to be 0.67±0.02.
