Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis has been used to separate the two isoenzymes of intestional acid phosphatase (PI and P2) and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (G1 and G2) in Discoglossus pictus tadpoles treated by thyroxine. When the isoenzyme activities of each pair are expressed as percentages, the activity of the slower form (P2 or G2) increases significantly when the tadpoles are treated by the hormone.
