Polymorphism of blood plasma proteins in the Anser and Branta genera.
An electrophoretical analysis of blood plasma proteins of eight Anser and two Branta species was performed. Ten polymorphic proteins in blood plasma pattern were distinguished and described: four prealbumin proteins, albumin, three postalbumin proteins, transferrin, and a single posttransferrin protein. Genus-specific and species-specific variants of Pr-1, Al, Pa-3, Pa-X, and Tf proteins were found. The species of Branta differed in Pr-1, Pa-3, Pa-X, and Tf loci. The Anser species differed, apparently, in allele frequencies of described gene loci. A single species-specific protein marker was found in swan geese only. The electrophoretic mobilities of Pr-1, TfB, and PtfA, B, and C were similar for several species of Anser and Branta genera.
