The 3'-end of the cDNA encoding the smg GDP dissociation stimulator (smg GDS) protein shares 100% homology with the previously published expressed sequence tag 00038 site. This site extends the 3'-end of the smg GDS gene by 212 bp. It has been localized to human chromosome 4. Here, we have refined t

✦ Synopsis
A porcine 2-kb partial dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP4, EC 3.4.i4.5) cDNA clone and a porcine 16-kb genomic fragment containing parts of the DPP4 gene were isolated, characterized, and used as probes to map the DPP4 gene to pig Chr (Chr) 15q21 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. A two-allele RFLP was revealed for the DPP4 gene. This polymorphism was utilized in a linkage test against the erythrocyte antigen G (EAG), previously assigned to Chr 15, and the microsatellite S0088, which is linked to EAG. The linkage analyses revealed significant evidence for linkage confirming the assignment of DPP4 to Chr 15.
