The gene for the major intrinsic protein (MIP) of the ocular lens is assigned to human chromosome 12cen-q14.
The gene for the human major intrinsic protein (MIP) of the ocular lens fiber membrane has been assigned to region cen-q14 of chromosome 12 through the use of somatic cell hybrids containing the whole chromosome and parts of human chromosome 12.
