The gene for galactosyltransferase maps to mouse chromosome 4

Cytogenet Cell Genet. 1987;44(1):18-21. doi: 10.1159/000132335.

Abstract

The chromosomal localization of the gene for UDP-galactosyltransferase (glycoprotein 4-B-galactosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.38) has been determined to be on mouse chromosome 4 by the use of mouse X hamster somatic cell hybrids. It has been proposed that galactosyltransferase is associated with the mouse T/t complex which has been localized to mouse chromosome 17. These results show that galactosyltransferase is not encoded within the T/t complex.
