Human gastrin-releasing peptide gene maps to chromosome band 18q21. 1987

A M Lebacq-Verheyden, and V Bertness, and I Kirsch, and G F Hollis, and O W McBride, and J Battey

A complementary DNA clone encoding human pre-pro gastrin-releasing peptide, a 27-amino acid neuropeptide and putative growth factor, was used to determine the chromosomal location of this gene. Southern blot hybridization to genomic DNA isolated from a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids unambiguously maps this gene to human chromosome 18. In situ chromosomal hybridization confirms the hybrid data and further localized the gene to chromosome band 18q21. Karyotypic abnormalities in tumors and inherited disease states which involve chromosome band 18q21 may now be studied for correlated changes in the structure and expression of the human GRP gene.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

Gene Mapping,Linkage Mapping,Genome Mapping,Chromosome Mappings,Gene Mappings,Genome Mappings,Linkage Mappings,Mapping, Chromosome,Mapping, Gene,Mapping, Genome,Mapping, Linkage,Mappings, Chromosome,Mappings, Gene,Mappings, Genome,Mappings, Linkage
D002887 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 18 A specific pair of GROUP E CHROMOSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 18
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
