F. Shimizu et al., CLONING AND CHROMOSOME ASSIGNMENT TO 1Q32 OF A HUMAN CDNA (RAB7L1) ENCODING A SMALL GTP-BINDING PROTEIN, A MEMBER OF THE RAS SUPERFAMILY, Cytogenetics and cell genetics, 77(3-4), 1997, pp. 261-263
A full-length cDNA homologous to RAB7, a member of the RAB-related GTP
-binding protein subfamily, was isolated from a human placenta cDNA. l
ibrary. This cDNA, designated RAB7L1, has an open reading frame of 609
nucleotides encoding 203 amino acids. Northern analysis showed that t
he mRNA is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, although signal in
tensities were different among the various organs examined. This gene
was located on chromosome band 1q32 by fluorescence in situ hybridizat
ion.
