A novel human homologue (GCMB) of the Drosophila glial cells missing gene (dGCM) was isolated using RACE. GCMB contained a gcm motif sequence and a nuclear targeting sequence similar to that of dGCM and mouse GCMb. Homology searches indicated that GCMB was located within chromosome 6p24.2. Transcripts of GCMB were detected by means of RT-PCR in fetal brain, normal adult kidney, 3/3 medulloblastomas, 1/3 gliomas and 4/8 non-neuroepithelial tumor cell lines. Our data suggest that humans have two homologues of gcm like mice and that human gcm genes form a novel family which may function not only during fetal development but also in the postnatal or pathological stage.
