Cytogenetic and radiation hybrid mapping of human arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) to chromosome 13q12

Genomics. 1999 Feb 15;56(1):131-3. doi: 10.1006/geno.1998.5651.

Abstract

Arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) is an arachidonic acid binding protein that has been shown to be critical in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes. We mapped the ALOX5AP gene to the chromosome 13q12 region by cytogenetic mapping, yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) pool screening, and radiation hybrid mapping. It was mapped to YAC contig WC13.2 by YAC pool screening with an unambiguous hit to WI-4874, which is at 78 cR on the radiation hybrid map, 3.36 cR, by radiation hybrid mapping, from WI-4874.
