Summary The development of a sensitive method for the localisation of γ-glutamyl transferase isoenzymes after electrophoresis on various media is described. Recommendations on final conditions are given for optimal concentrations of substrate, acceptor and buffer, and for pH of the reaction mixture. The reaction conditions are compared with other isoenzyme localisation techniques previously reported.
