| Popis: | The chromosomal localization of the genes coding for the pro-protein and pro-hormone convertases PC1, PC2, and Furin has been achieved by in situ hybridization. The genes for PC1 and PC2 were located on human chromosomes 5q15-21 and 20p11.1-11.2, respectively. The gene for Furin was assigned to the mouse chromosome 7D1-7E2 region. These data complete the chromosomal localization of these three convertases in both human and mouse. The results confirm the regional correspondence of the human chromosomes 15 and mouse chromosomes 7, as well as between human chromosome 20 and mouse chromosome 2. Furthermore, the identification of the NEC1 locus on human chromosome 5 and mouse chromosome 13 suggests a conservation of synthenic regions between these regions of the human and mouse genomes. |
