Wikipedia ^ja

Etymology

From Middle Chinese compound 蛋白 (tan? bæk, literally “egg + white”). The kanʻon reading, so likely a later borrowing.

The protein sense is more recent, and developed out of the egg white sense.

Pronunciation

(Tokyo) たんぱく (Atamadaka – )^[1]^[2]
(Tokyo) たんぱく (Heiban – )^[2]
IPA^(key):

Noun

蛋(たん)白(ぱく) or 蛋白(タンパク) • (tanpaku)

egg white, albumen
Short for 蛋白質 (tanpakushitsu): protein (more common sense in modern Japanese)

Usage notes

This term is often spelled in katakana (as タンパク) due to the rarity of the first character, 蛋.

Synonyms

(egg white): 卵(らん)白(ぱく) (ranpaku) (more common), 白(しろ)身(み) (shiromi)

Derived terms

蛋(たん)白(ぱく)質(しつ) (tanpakushitsu): protein

蛋(たん)白(ぱく)分(ぶん)解(かい)酵(こう)素(そ) (tanpaku bunkai kōso): protease, an enzyme that breaks down protein
蛋(たん)白(ぱく)消(しょう)化(か)酵(こう)素(そ) (tanpaku shōka kōso): protease, an enzyme that breaks down protein
