Assignment of the gene encoding cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) to Mus musculus chromosome 2.
The structural gene Pck-1, encoding cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) (PEPCK; EC 4.1.1.32), has been assigned to mouse chromosome 2. This assignment was made based on genomic Southern transfer of rat-mouse and hamster-mouse hybrid DNAs using a rat kidney cloned cDNA of the PEPCK gene as a probe. Conclusive evidence for the cosegregation of the PEPCK gene with mouse chromosome 2 was obtained using a monochromosomal microcell hybrid that selectively retained a Robertsonian translocation between mouse autosomes 2 and 8 and its back-selected hybrid clone.
