title: Genomic cloning and chromosomal localization of the mouse Mab21l2 locus.
abstract: A second mouse gene related to the nematode mab-21 gene has been isolated. This gene, Mab21l2, encodes a transcript with an open reading frame discretely organized in a single exon. It shares 93.3% and 55.5% amino acid identity with the human and worm mab-21 respectively. FISH analysis determined that this gene is on chromosome 3 at a position between bands 3E3 and 3F1. This newly identified mouse gene will be useful in future examination of mab-21 gene function in vertebrate models.
