K. Schiebel et al., FISH LOCALIZATION OF THE HUMAN Y-HOMOLOG OF PROTEIN-KINASE PRKX (PRKY) TO YP11.2 AND 2 PSEUDOGENES TO 15Q26 AND XQ12-]Q13, Cytogenetics and cell genetics, 76(1-2), 1997, pp. 49-52
Recently, we reported the isolation of a new subfamily of serine-threo
nine protein kinases. This subfamily was shown to consist of at least
four members. Sequencing and FISH mapping of all 4 members now reveals
that the Y-homolog (PRKY) of the previously mapped PRKX gene (Xp22.3)
is located in Yp11.2, in close vicinity to AMELY. The other two copie
s reside on Xq12-->q13 (PRKXP2) and 15q26 (PRKXP1, containing CA repea
t STS D15S87) and represent pseudogenes.
