Ki. Nakashima et al., POLYMORPHISMS OF TRIMERESURUS-FLAVOVIRIDIS VENOM GLAND PHOSPHOLIPASE A(2) ISOZYME GENES, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 58(8), 1994, pp. 1510-1511
Trimeresurvus flavoviridis venom gland phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) gen
es pgPLA 1a and pgPLA 2a encode Asp-49-PLA(2) and genes pgPLA 1b and p
gPLA 2b encode an isozyme of Asp-49-PLA(2). Polymorphisms were found i
n pairs of pgPLA 1a and pgPLA 2a and of pgPLA 1b and pgPLA 2b for indi
viduals of T. flavoviridis. The occurrence of both homozygotes and het
erozygotes was demonstrated.
