TLDR Enzyme presence in hair sheath cells decreases over time, affecting forensic analysis.
The study investigated polymorphic enzyme systems in human hair sheath cells using starch gel electrophoresis. It identified several enzymes, including Phospho-glucomutase, Esterase D, Glyoxalase, and others, in fresh hair sheath cells. Over time, the detectability of these enzymes decreased, with only a few remaining detectable in older sheath cells. Acid phosphatase and Adenosine deaminase activities were observed, but reliable typing was not feasible, and Peptidase A activity was absent. This research contributed to understanding enzyme presence and stability in hair sheath cells, which could have implications for forensic science.
