Assignment of transcription factor NFAT5 to human chromosome 16q22.1, murine chromosome 8D and porcine chromosome 6p1.4 and comparison of the polyglutamine domains

To date, transcription factors of the NFAT family (nuclear factors of activ ated T cells) have been described for mouse and man. Recently, we mapped th e human NFAT5 gene to chromosome 16 by PCR using DNA from hybrid cell lines . Here we report the exact position of the human gene between D16S496 and W 15254 within the 16q22.1 subband, the localization of the murine gene at ch romosome 8D, and the identification and mapping of the porcine counterpart to chromosome 6p1.4.
