Abstract

The properties of a variant phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) found in a large German clan were examined. The normal and variant enzymes, isolated by affinity chromatography, have the same molecular weight, specific activity, substrate affinity, and nearly identical pH-optima. Using immunoinactivation and immunodiffusion, the same specific activity for both forms was again determined. Since the enzymatic activity in older and younger erythrocytes varied only slightly, and since the specific activity of the variant was normal, the variant seems to be stable in vivo. This suggests that the decreased enzyme content is due to a decreased synthesis rate. The variant PGK described here is distinctly different from the known PGK variants and has been designated as "PGK München."
