Summary The equine transferrin F variant is distinguishable into two types, F1 and F2, on alkaline polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Gene frequencies in 63 related Thoroughbreds are 0.39 and 0.19 for TfF 1 TfF 2 , respectively. In contrast the frequencies for these two alleles in 375 related Standardbreds is 0.00 and 0.59.
