Description:
The chromosomal localization of the genes encoding the four subunits of muscle nicotinic receptor was determined by analyzing restriction fragment length polymorphisms between two mouse species Mus musculus domesticus (DBA/2) and Mus spretus (SPE). Analysis of the progeny of the interspecies mouse backcross (DBA/2 X SPE) X DBA/2 showed that the alpha-subunit gene cosegregates with the alpha-cardiac actin gene on chromosome 17, that the beta-subunit gene is located on chromosome 11, and that the gamma- and delta-subunit genes cosegregate and are located on chromosome 1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Heidmann, O -- Buonanno, A -- Geoffroy, B -- Robert, B -- Guenet, J L -- Merlie, J P -- Changeux, J P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1986 Nov 14;234(4778):866-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3022377" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
