Abstract

The catalase phenotypes and the gene frequencies in erythrocyte of 223 Cheju native horses were studied by starch gel electrophoresis. The results obtained were as follows: 1. In the catalase phenotypes, three phenotypes, CatF, CatM and CatS, which were controlled by two allelic genes, $Cat^F$ and $Cat^S$, were observed and their frequencies of appearance were 24.21%, 47.53%, and 28.25% respectively. 2. The distribution of gene frequency was calculated as 0.480 in $Cat^F$ and 0.520 in $Cat^S$.

Key Words: Cheju native horse, catalase, phenotypes, allelic genes
