  • Title: Chromosomal localization of the human apoprotein CI gene and of a polymorphic apoprotein AII gene.
    Author: Knott TJ, Eddy RL, Robertson ME, Priestley LM, Scott J, Shows TB.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1984 Nov 30; 125(1):299-306. PubMed ID: 6095840.
    Abstract:
    Human apoprotein(apo) CI and apo AII cDNA probes have been used to analyze the segregation of the human genes in panels of human-mouse hybrids. The apo CI (APOCI) gene segregates with chromosome 19 and the apo AII (APOA2) gene with chromosome 1. Somatic cell hybrids containing chromosome translocations were used to map the apo AII gene to the 1p21-1qter region. Human APOA2 is polymorphic for the restriction endonuclease Msp I. Comparison of human and mouse chromosome 1 reveals a conserved group including apo AII, renin and peptidase genes and suggests that APOA2 will be found distal to this group on human chromosome 1. The mouse apo AII gene is closely linked with genes that regulate HDL structure. Similar HDL regulatory genes will probably be found near human APOA2.
