The human aminopeptidase N gene: isolation, chromosome localization, and DNA polymorphism analysis

Hum Genet. 1990 Oct;85(6):651-4. doi: 10.1007/BF00193592.

Abstract

DNA encoding the human aminopeptidase N (EC 3.4.11.2) gene (PEPN) was first isolated using rat cDNA probes and then used in Southern analysis of DNA from mouse-human somatic cell hybrids to assign this gene to the long-arm region (q11-qter) of human chromosome 15. This human genomic DNA probe detects a frequent DraIII polymorphism that is a useful marker for human chromosome 15.
