โฆ Synopsis
Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase produced by female Drosophila melanogaster differs from that of males in electrophoretic mobility, kinetics, and thermostability. The enzyme produced by pseudomales is intermediate in kinetics and stability, but resembles that of males in electrophoretic mobility, Stability and kinetics are affected by growth temperature in pseudomales.

Three alleles of the Zw locus of Drosophila melanogaster--ZwA, ZwB, and Zwlol--apparently code for dimeric, tetrameric, and monomeric forms of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), respectively. The three forms of G6PD are characterized by different apparent Km values for glucose-6-phosphate but
