1. The electrophoretic properties of a variety of gonadotropins were examined by electrofocusing in pH gradients generated by commercially available synthetic polyaminopolycarboxylic acid ampholytes (ampholines, LKB Instruments Co.). Isoelectric points (pi) were estimated on the basis of ultraviolet absorbancy and/or biologic activity of fractions after electrofocusing. 2. The pi of bovine luteinizing hormone (LH) was estimated to be 9.55. The pi of bovine LH subunit Cl was 9.36 and the pi of bovine LH subunit C2 was 8.85. It is not certain that these differences are significant. 3. Estimates of the pi of ovine, porcine, rat and rabbit LH, but not equine LH, were comparable to that observed for bovine LH, falling between pH 8.6 and 10.47. These values are considerably higher than previously reported for ovine and porcine LH as measured by free boundary electrophoresis. Equine LH showed activity over the pH range 3.78–8.90 and was unique in this regard. 4. The human LH fraction studied was apparently homog...
