We have isolated two nonoverlapping cDNAs encoding human nebulin, a muscle-specific protein. Northern hybridization analysis shows that nebulin is encoded by a huge message at least 25 kb in length. By hybridizing two nonoverlapping cDNAs to DNA isolated from rodent X human cell hybrids, we assign this presumably single-copy gene to human chromosome 2; sublocalization studies indicate that the nebulin gene is on the long arm of the chromosome, in the region 2q31-q32.
