title: Localisation of the gene for the major intrinsic protein of eye-lens-fibre cell membranes to mouse chromosome 10 by in situ hybridisation.
abstract: The gene encoding the major intrinsic protein (Mip) of eye-lens-fibre cell membranes has been assigned to region D1 of mouse Chromosome 10 by in situ hybridisation of a cDNA for rat MIP to G-banded metaphase chromosomes. The mouse Mip gene maps within or near to a segment homoeologous with human chromosome 12q and may be linked to the Cat locus at the distal end of mouse Chromosome 10.
