Abstract

Evidence of variations in human red cell esterase was first presented by Tashian [1–3]. With starch gel, borate buffer electrophoresis followed by azo-dye-coupled staining procedures, zones of esterase activity were classified as A¹, A², A³, B, and C. Population variants of these esterase enzymes have proven to be either exceedingly rare or nonexistent and consequently have no forensic application.
