The mouse gene coding for ribosomal protein L23 (Rpl23) has been fully sequ
enced, including 580 bp of the 5' upstream region. The 5-kb gene comprises
5 exons and contains an unusually long (3,153 bp) third intron. The gene wa
s mapped to the distal region of mouse chromosome 11, homologous to human c
hromosome 17q21 --> q22. Copyright (C) 2000 S. Karger AG, Basel.
