Abstract

Human spermatozoa, representing a homogeneous population of postmitotic cells, contain five electrophoretically distinct lactic dehydrogenases and two malic dehydrogenases. This indicates that molecular heterogeneity of enzymes is characteristic of the individual cell and is not a reflection of heterogeneity of cell types within a tissue.
