Abstract
At least two different receptor molecules have been described that are capable of binding tumor necrosis factor alpha, a cytokine that plays an important role in inflammation and antitumor activity. Comparative analyses at the nucleotide sequence level suggest that these receptors are members of a newly defined protein family that also includes human and rat nerve growth factor receptors. In this study, we determine the chromosome assignments of the human TNF alpha receptor genes, one of which may have evolved as part of a conserved Hox locusβcontaining chromosome segment.

The gene for the mouse recoverin protein (23 kDa photoreceptor-specific protein, S-modulin, or the Cancer-Associated Retinopathy protein) was recently assigned to mouse chromosome 11, closely linked to trp53. In this paper, the human gene for recoverin was localized to human chromosome 17 by Souther
## Structure and chromosomal location of the mouse interleukin-l2 p35 and p40 subunit genes Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of p35 and p40 subunits and is required for induction of T helper 1 (Thl) responses. Knowledge of how the IL-12 gene is regulated will permit an u
