Phosphoglucose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9) from a variety of rat and human tissues has been studied by several electrophoretic techniques. When heart, liver, kidney, brain, erythrocyte, or skeletal muscle extracts were subjected to electrophoresis on cellulose acetate, a broad electrophoretic band was ob...
