title: The rat genes encoding the pancreatitis-associated proteins I, II and III (Pap1, Pap2, Pap3), and the lithostathin/pancreatic stone protein/regeneration protein (Reg) colocalize at 4q33-->q34.
abstract: Using fluorescence in situ hybridization, we determined that the three rat PAP genes, and the related REG gene map in the same chromosomes region, namely 4q33-->q34. This rat chromosome region is thus homologous to the human 2p12 region, which also contains the PAP gene, the REG1A gene, and a REG-related gene (REGL).
