✦ Synopsis

Discontinuous starch gel electrophoresis revealed a fourth allele of rabbit pre-albumin serum esterase at locus Est-2. This allele is designated Est-2f and appears to be silent. In addition to the prealbumin serum esterases, another serum esterase system was studied in rabbits. This system is localized in the beta-globulin region. Genetic analysis indicated that one locus with two codominant alleles controls the variation in this region. Linkage of this system with Est-1 and Est-2 of the prealbumin serum esterases was demonstrated. Comparison of the arrangement of these esterase loci on linkage group VI with the esterase loci on chromosome 8 of the mouse gives additional support for the theory of evolutionary conservation of chromosomal segments coding for mammalian esterases.

The zymotypic variation of rabbit prealbumin esterases is controlled by three autosomal loci, each with two alleles: Est-1 s and Est-1 s, Est-2 v and Est-2 f', Est-3 D and Est-3 d. Est-1 s gives rise to the three S zones possessing the cocainesterase activity, Est-2 v to the three F zones with atrop

Rabbit atropinesterase and cocainesterase were studied by starch gel electrophoresis. The enzymes are localized in a region of the gels anodal to the albumins (prealbumin esterases). In this region, three groups of esterase zones ( S, F, and D) can be distinguished. The S and F zones are almost excl
