Alcohol dehydrogenase isozymes in the mouse: genetic regulation, allelic variation among inbred strains and sex differences of liver and kidney A2 isozyme activity.

Genetic analysis of a proposed cis-acting temporal locus (Adh-3t), which regulates alcohol dehydrogenase C2 (ADH-C2) activity in mouse epididymis extracts, among F1 (ddN X BALB/c) X ddN male backcross progeny provided evidence for genetic distinctness between the structural ( Adh-3) and temporal (Adh-3t) loci on chromosome 3. Genetic analysis also confirmed the close linkage of Adh-1 ( encoding liver and kidney ADH-A2) and Adh-3 (encoding stomach ADH-C2) to within 0.3 centimorgans on the mouse genome. Evidence is presented for a proposed closely linked cis-acting temporal locus (designated Adh-lt) for the A2 isozyme (encoded by Adh-1) controlling the activity of this enzyme in mouse kidney extracts, but having no apparent affect on liver and intestine ADH-A2 activities. An extensive survey of the distribution of Adh-1, Adh-3 and Adh-3t alleles among 65 strains of mice is reported--with the exception of two Japanese strains (ddN and KF), linkage disequilibrium between Adh-3 and Adh-3t was observed. Sex differences in mouse liver and kidney ADH-A2 activities were observed, with male/female ratios of approximately 0.6 and 3 respectively for these tissue extracts.[1]
