Four human protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) genes of the VH1-like
subclass were cloned by low-stringency screening of a genomic library
. These genes were localized to their respective chromosomes by G-band
ing and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The genes were localized t
o unique regions of different chromosomes: CL100, a stress-induced PTP
ase, to 5q35; PAC-1, a mitogen-induced nuclear PTPase, to 2q11; hVH-3
to 10q25; and hVH-4 to 10q11. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
