Abstract excerpt
Two forms of alkaline phosphatase exist in the integument of the "white pupae" (wp) and dark pupae (dp) mutant strains of Ceratitis capitata, during transition from larvae to pupae. They were separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Both isoenzymes have a molecular weight of approximately 180,000 and two pH optima, at 9.4 and at 11.0. The isoenzymes of the "dark pupae" mutant catalyze the hydrolysis of...
