Summary

A new type of cattle hemoglobin is found in animals of the African Muturu breed. It is called D, has a slower rate of migration than Hb A on starch gels and can be explained by the occurrence of a fourth allele HbD.

Zusammenfassung

Ein neuer Typ des Rinderhaemoglobins ist bei Tieren der afrikanischen Muturu-Rasse festgestellt worden. Der Typ hat die Bezeichnung D bekommen. Er wanderte langsamer als Hb A in einem StärkeGel, was durch das Auftreten eines vierten Alleles HbD erklärt werden kann.

Sammanfattning

En ny type storfe hemoglobin er påvist hos dyr av den afrikanske Muturu rase. Den er blitt kalt Hb D, har en saktere vandringshastighet enn Hb A på stivelsesgel og kan forklares ved en fjerde allel HbD.
