Protein polymorphism in a randombred chicken population.

K W Washburn, Y Maeda, G M Lanza

    Animal Blood Groups and Biochemical Genetics
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Genetic polymorphism in chicken plasma proteins was investigated. Amylase showed two alleles, while plasma alkaline phosphatase exhibited a new variant, and esterases were monomorphic.

    Area of Science:

    • Animal Genetics
    • Biochemistry
    • Poultry Science

    Background:

    • Understanding genetic variation in domestic animals is crucial for breeding programs.
    • Plasma protein polymorphisms can serve as genetic markers in poultry populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the genetic polymorphism of plasma amylase, plasma alkaline phosphatase, non-specific esterase, and red cell esterase-D in the Athens-Canadian randombred (ACRB) chicken population.
    • To characterize allele frequencies and identify any novel isozymes.

    Main Methods:

    • Polyacrylamide and starch gel electrophoresis were employed to analyze plasma and red blood cell proteins.
    • Phenotypic variations were observed and documented for each enzyme system.

    Main Results:

    • Amylase exhibited polymorphism with two alleles (Amy-1A and Amy-1B) at frequencies of 0.45 and 0.55, respectively.
    • Plasma alkaline phosphatase displayed polymorphism, including a previously unreported faster-migrating isozyme.
    • Non-specific esterase and red cell esterase-D showed no polymorphism within the studied ACRB population.

    Conclusions:

    • The ACRB chicken population possesses genetic variation in amylase and plasma alkaline phosphatase.
    • A new nomenclature for plasma alkaline phosphatase is proposed based on sialic acid presence.
    • The lack of polymorphism in esterases suggests conserved genetic structure for these enzymes in this population.
