Gene for murine ?1 ? 3-galactosyltransferase is located in the centromeric region of chromosome 2

Abstract
The gene for α1 → 3-galactosyltransferase, termedGgta-1, was mapped to mouse chromosome 2 by Southern blot analysis of Chinese hamster × mouse somatic cell hybrids. Using an intersubspecies back-cross, this locus was positioned to the centromeric region on this chromosome, near the Hc locus.
