โฆ Synopsis
Three to five isozymes of pancreatic proteinase exist in mice, and they have been designated as bands I, II, III, IV, and V. Identification experiments of these isozymes were carried out in this study; bands I, IV, and V are trypsin, and bands II and III are chymotrypsin. Therefore, it is concluded that Prt-1, controlling band V, is a locus for trypsin and Prt-2, controllong bands II and III, is a locus for chymotrypsin. In addition, a new locus, Prt-3, has been found. At this locus the two allelic genes, Prt-3a and Prt-3b, control the low and high tryptic activities of band IV, respectively. Prt-3 is present only in the strain Mol-A. Linkage experimentation has shown that Prt-1 is closely linked to Prt-3.

The Prt-2 locus is linked with Es-1 and Es-2 loci on chromosome 8 (linkage group XVIII). Recombination frequencies were 8.2% between Es-1 and Es-2 12.7% between Es-1 and Prt-2, and 4.5% between Es-2 and Prt-2. From these data, the map position of Prt-2 has been estimated on chromosome 8. The Prt-1 a
The recent vast increase in the rate of discovery of genetically determined biochemical variants in mice has necessitated the selection of many new symbols to designate the new genetic loci and alleles.

Various patterns of mouse pancreatic proteinase activity bands were observed on agarose gel electrophoresis. Prt-1a and Prt-1b genes control the positive (PRT-1A) and negative (PRT-1B) expression of tryptic band V, respectively; Prt-2a and Prt-2b correspond to chymotryptic bands II (PRT-2A) and III
