title: Assignment of the NRAS protooncogene to chromosome 12 of Syrian hamster by in situ hybridization.
abstract: The NRAS protooncogene codes for a GTP binding/GTPase p21 protein which resides on the inner surface of the plasma membrane. Using a human cDNA probe for NRAS, we have assigned the gene to Syrian hamster chromosome 12 with the most likely localization being 12qa5.
