摘要
The myosin light chain kinase (MYLK) gene is duplicated on human chromosome 3 (3q13 --> q21; 3p13), two sites known to contain olfactory receptor (OR) genes. The 3p13 site contains a MM-K pseudogene (MYLKP) associated with a cluster of OR pseudogenes and therefore could have arisen from the duplication of a large region in 3q13 --> q21. Here, we present the localization of the MYLK gene in a >5-Mb region of the chromosome 3q21 integrated map. MYLK colocalizes with marker D3S3552. OR genes are absent from this region, suggesting that the 3p13 duplicated region incurred further rearrangements during evolution. Copyright (C) 2001 S. Karger AG, Basel.
