An electrophoretic variation in a mouse serum protein moving closely to the vitamin D binding protein is described. The variation is determined by two codominant alleles at one locus with the allele in DBA causing fast mobility and that in C57BL causing slow mobility. This locus is located in the proximal part of chromosome 9, 14·3 cM from the d locus and 31·9 cM from the Bgs locus. The protein has not yet been identified but possible candidates among the serum proteins are discussed.
