Abstract The gene for a Ca2+-binding protein regucalcin was cloned from a rat genomic library which was constructed in λ FIX II by screening with radiolabeled probe (complementary DNA of rat liver regucalcin). Positive clone had 19.9 kb insert of size and contained four exons of the gene coding for a rat regucalcin. These exons included the partial coding sequence (61.2% of open reading frame) and the entire 3′-untranslated region of the gene. The nucleotide sequence of exons completely agreed with that of a rat regucalcin cDNA clone. The sequence analysis of the clone showed that the identifier sequence and two simple repeated sequences exist in the intron of the gene. Moreover, chromosomal location of the rat regucalcin gene was determined by direct R-banding fluorescencein situ hybridization (FISH) method with the 19.9 kb clone containing four exons. The regucalcin gene was localized on rat chromosome Xq11.1–12 proximal end.
