✦ Synopsis

Midkine (Mdk) and heparin-binding neurotrophic factor (Hbnf)/pleiotrophin (Ptn) comprise the Midkine family of developmentally regulated signaling molecules. We have determined the chromosomal localization of these genes in the mouse by use of single-strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCPs), which facilitated the typing of Mdk and Hbnf alleles in recombinant inbred (RI) strains and interspecific backcrosses. Mapping was performed relative to other cloned genes, as well as simple sequence length polymorphisms (SSLPs) in the interspecific backcrosses. Mdk maps to mouse Chromosome (Chr) 2, linked to the Hoxd gene cluster. Hbnf maps to proximal mouse Chr 6, linked to the Cftr and Cpa genes. Comparative mapping of human MDK and HBNF employing species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers and human monochromosomal somatic cell hybrids assigns MDK to human Chr 11 and HBNF to human Chr 7q32-qter.

A variety of signalling molecules has been implicated over the past 8 years in the regulation of intracellular transport pathways. Those molecules include heterotrimeric GTP binding proteins, members of the protein kinase C family, and members of the Rho subfamily of small GTPases. Until recently, n

## Abstract The proto‐oncogenic protein c‐Cbl was discovered as the cellular form of v‐Cbl, a retroviral transforming protein. This was followed over the years by important discoveries, which identified c‐Cbl and other Cbl‐family proteins as key players in several signaling pathways. c‐Cbl has donn

Wnts are a recently described family of secreted glycoproteins related to the Drosophila segment polarity gene, wingless, and to the proto-oncogene, int-1. Wnts are thought to function as developmental modulators, with signalling distances of only a few cell diameters. In Xenopus, at least six Wnts,
