Localization of the gene coding for parathymosin to chromosome 17 in humans

Cytogenet Cell Genet. 1989;50(2-3):91-2. doi: 10.1159/000132730.

Abstract

Parathymosin is a 101-amino acid polypeptide involved in the regulation of cellular immunity. In situ hybridization of rat parathymosin cDNA to human metaphase chromosomes localized the gene for human parathymosin to the q12----q22 region of chromosome 17.
