In situ hybridisation localises the gene for the major intrinsic protein of eye lens fibre cell membranes to human chromosome 12q14.
The gene encoding the major intrinsic protein (MIP) of eye lens fibre cell membranes has been localised to human chromosome 12q14 by in situ hybridisation of a cDNA for rat MIP to G-banded metaphase chromosomes. The human MIP gene maps within a conserved region of synteny with mouse Chromosome 10.
