Abstract
Human red cell acid phosphatase (ACP1, EC 3.1.3.2) is known to be genetically polymorphic. Three codominant autosomal alleles ACP1*A,B and C were first described by Hopkinson (1963) using differences in electrophoretic mobilities. Other variants published to date include ACP1*D, E, F, G. H, I, K, M, R, GUA-1 and TIC-1. This report describes five new variants identified by both isoelectric focusing and conventional electrophoresis. The new alleles show genetic transmission from family data and are named ACP1*N, P, S, T, and U. Further evidence of an allele with reversed ACP1 A band intensity and a variant with reduced ACP1 C activity are discussed.
