The gene coding for the p68 calcium-binding protein is localised to bands q32?q34 of human chromosome 5, and to mouse chromosome 11

SummaryThe gene coding for human p68, a membrane-associated calcium-binding protein, has been assigned to chromosome 5, using a cDNA clone to probe genomic DNA from rodent-human somatic cell hybrids by Southern hybridisation. The gene was localised, by in situ hybridisation, to 5q32–34. The murine gene was assigned to chromosome 11, using a murine cDNA clone to probe genomic DNA from rodent-rodent somatic cell hybrids.
