Assignment of the beta subunit of the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene (CHRNB1) to sheep chromosome 11.
The chromosomal assignment of the gene for the beta subunit of the sheep muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (CHRNB1) was determined by isotopic in situ hybridization. CHRNB1 was mapped to sheep chromosome 11, with a hybridization peak at 11q14-->q22. This result is further evidence that the chromosomal segment that comprises human chromosome 17 has been highly conserved during evolution.
