Summary A new genetic polymorphism of an unidentified plasma protein (PLP1) in pigs was described by using a method of two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis and protein staining. Two codominant alleles, with frequencies of 0.83 and 0.17, were found in the Swedish Yorkshire breed. The PLP1 marker was typed in a three‐generation pedigree and tested for linkage against a set of 128 markers. The PLP1 locus showed significant LOD score values with three different microsatellite markers ( S0092, DAGK and S005 ), previously assigned to chromosome 5.
