Abstract
An ethylnitrosourea (ENU)-induced electrophoretic variant of mouse PEP-2, a tripeptidase, has been used to determine the location of the structural gene on chromosome 10. Gene order and recombination frequencies were estimated as Apk-21.8±3.9%-Pep-2-3.7±2.1%-Sl. Methods for rapid determination of Apk and Pep-2 alleles by cellulose acetate electorphoresis and a valuable linkage testing stock carrying the unique Apk m and Pep-2 b alleles are described.
