Abstract excerpt
Distribution of ADH, ALP, FBALD, GAPDH, G3PDH, G6PDH, GPI, LDH, MDH, PGM, and SOD was identified in retina, heart, muscle, liver, kidney, gills, brain, gut, lung and ovary of the African lungfish. Data are compared with patterns previously described in dipnoans and other vertebrates. The number of loci expressed for all enzymes was found to be similar to those of diploid Actinopterygii. Differences in the number...
