J. Lamartine et al., MOLECULAR-CLONING AND MAPPING OF A HUMAN CDNA (PA2G4) THAT ENCODES A PROTEIN HIGHLY HOMOLOGOUS TO THE MOUSE-CELL CYCLE PROTEIN P38-2G4, Cytogenetics and cell genetics, 78(1), 1997, pp. 31-35
We have identified a novel human gene with strong homology to the mous
e Pa2g4 cell cycle gene. This novel gene (called PA2G4) belongs to a g
ene family with members in several chromosome regions: 3q24-q25, 6q22,
9q21, 12q13, 18q12, 20p12 and Xq25. A composite cDNA of 1697 nucleoti
des was isolated. The sequence of this cDNA predicts a protein of 394
amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of this human protein sho
ws very strong homology to the mouse protein p38-2G4. The cDNA analyze
d probably corresponds to a functional copy found at 12q13.
