High impact information on alpha-Est4

  • Esterase-4 and esterase-5 are the products of a duplicated gene [1].
  • Several fitness components in strains of Drosophila mulleri carrying the slow or the fast alleles for the major beta esterase (esterase-4) found in this species, as well as in heterozygous flies in which the slow or fast alleles came from one of the parents, were evaluated [2].
  • At the 16th-20th hour of embryonic development the maternal fractions are accompanied by the manifestation of paternal fractions of the slowly migrating esterase-4 [3].
