Human α2-HS-glycoprotein localized to 3q27→q29 by in situ hybridization

Abstract
Human plasma protein α2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG) is composed of two polypeptide chains, A and B, encoded by a single mRNA. Southern blot analysis of mouse × human somatic cell hybrids has mapped the AHSG gene to human chromosome 3 in the region 3q21→qter (Lee et al., 1987). Using a recombinant plasmid containing a 1,538 bp insert spanning the entire AHSG coding region, AHSG was localized to chromosomal bands 3q27→q29 by in situ hybridization.
