Carbonic Anhydrase Polymorphism in Cattle and Swine

Abstract

Two electrophoretically different carbonic anhydrase (Ca) isoenzymes have been demonstrated in cattle where their presence is presumed to be controlled by codominant allelic genes (Sartore & Bernoco 1966). Previous reports of Ca polymorphism in swine are not available.
