Mapping of the newly identified biliverdin-IX beta reductase gene (BLVRB) to human chromosome 19q13.13-->q13.2 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
The human biliverdin-IX beta reductase gene (BLVRB) has been newly isolated from a human liver cDNA library. We now report the chromosome mapping of this gene by fluorescence in situ hybridization, using a 0.76-kb cDNA fragment as a probe. The BLVRB gene was localized to chromosome region 19q13.13-->q13.2.
