The gene Bfsp1 for the lens fiber cell beaded-filament structural protein CP94 maps to mouse chromosome 2.
Bfsp1 is a mouse gene encoding the lens beaded-filament structural protein CP94. By use of rat CP94 cDNA as a probe, Southern hybridization of mouse DNAs prepared from the interspecific backcross progeny between Mus molossinus-mit and C57BL/6J strains was carried out. The results indicated that Bfsp1 maps at position 58 (+/- 6) on chromosome 2, in the vicinity of the blind-sterile (bs) locus.
