โฆ Synopsis
Neurotensin is a tridecapeptide that plays several neurotransmitter or neuromodulatory roles both in the central nervous system and in the periphery. These actions are mediated by a high-affinity receptor (Ntsr). Both rat and human cDNAs encoding high-affinity receptors have been recently cloned. The availability of Ntsr probes allowed us to localize the corresponding genes on the mouse and human chromosomes. The present data demonstrate that the Ntsr gene is assigned to the H region of the mouse Chromosome (Chr) 2 and to the long arm of the human Chr 20.

A novel dopamine D3 receptor gene that may be involved in psychiatric diseases has recently been characterized. It has been assigned to chromosome 3 by hybridization with a D3 receptor probe to human sorted chromosomes, and localized to band 3q 13.3 by in situ hybridization.
We have assigned the human histamine H1-receptor gene to chromosome 3 by Southern blot analysis of a chromosome mapping panel constructed from human-hamster somatic cell hybrids. This assignment was confirmed by in situ hybridization on metaphase chromosomes and involved bands 3p14-p21.
