HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: ACTBL2
Cytogenetic location: 5q11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:57,480,018-57,482,811 (from NCBI)
Using RT-PCR to amplify actin-like transcripts from hepatocellular carcinomas, Chang et al. (2006) obtained a partial cDNA for ACTBL2.
Hartz (2012) mapped the ACTBL2 gene to chromosome 5q11.2 based on an alignment of the ACTBL2 sequence (GenBank AY970384) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37).
