A full-length cDNA encoding a novel protein was isolated and sequenced from
a human placental cDNA library. This cDNA consists of 1990 bp and has a pr
edicted open reading frame encoding 433 amino acids. It possesses an Src ho
mology 3 (SH3) motif, a leucine zipper motif and no catalytic domain, sugge
sting that it seems to be an adapter protein. PCR-based mapping with both a
monochromosomal hybrid panel and radiation hybrid cell panels placed the g
ene to human chromosome 1q21-22. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
