Summary Two‐dimensional electrophoretic analysis of water‐soluble proteins of chicken egg yolk was done by a first‐dimension separation in agarose gel (pH 8.6) followed by a second‐dimension separation in horizontal polyacrylamide gel (pH 9.0). Genetic polymorphism of a protein, tentatively designated as Pr M prealbumin, was observed. The analysis of family data suggests that the Pr M prealbumin is controlled by two alleles, Pr M + and Pr M‐, at a single autosomal locus. The Pr M + allele appears to be dominant to the Pr M ‐ allele.
