Localization of the dihydrolipoamide branched-chain transacylase gene (DBT) of the human branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase complex to chromosome 1

Abstract
The gene coding for the transacylase subunit (DBT) of the human branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase complex was localized to chromosome 1 by probing panels of human × mouse chromosome hybrids with an E2 cDNA amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. Additional data with two hybrids containing chromosome 1 fragments suggest that the DBT gene is located on the short arm (1pter→p21) of the chromosome.
