Three patterns of 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase activity were obtained by starch-gel electrophoresis of blood from domestic cats. Genetic analysis indicates control of these patterns by a pair of alleles at an autosomal locus. Presence of three enzymatically active bands in heterozygotes and of single bands in homozygotes is compatible with at least a dimeric structure for the enzyme.
