Localization of four new markers to pig chromosomes 1, 6, and 14 by radioactive in situ hybridization.

The genes coding for glucose regulated protein, 78kDal (GRP78), hormone-sensitive lipase (LIPE), plasminogen activator or urokinase (PLAU), and D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) were localized in the pig by radioactive in situ hybridization. GRP78 was mapped to 1q2.10-->q2.13 and LIPE was localized to chromosome 6cen-->q1.2. The genes for PLAU and DAO were both assigned to chromosome 14, in the region q2.4-->q2.6 and q2.1-->q2.3, respectively. The results are compared to mapping data in other mammalian species.
