The proportions of the two isozyme bands of the X-linked form of phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK-1) were compared in 16 tissues from four groups of adult heterozygous females. Little evidence was found for differences in expression of the two isozymes among tissues but there was a marked difference among the four groups of mice. The proportion of the PGK-1B enzyme was consistently lower in PGK-1AB heterozygous daughters of C3H/HeHa females than in corresponding heterozygotes with a C57BL/6Ha, DBA/2Ha or JBT/Jd mother. This difference was also observed in foetuses on the fourteenth day of gestation irrespective of whether the C3H/HeHa X chromosome was derived from the mother or the father. Sequential sampling of blood from the same heterozygous females provided no evidence for genetically determined cell selection in the adult erythropoietic tissue. The observed differences probably reflect variation at an X-chromosome controlling element locus among inbred strains of mice, similar to that described by Cattanach & Williams (1972) using X-linked morphological markers, although this has yet to be tested.
