Refinement of the localization of human butyrylcholinesterase to chromosome 3q26.1-q26.2 using a PCR-derived probe.
Biochemistry Department, University of Oxford, United Kingdom.
The gene for butyrylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8) has been previously localized to three sites in the human genome, at 3q21, 3q26, and 16q21. In situ hybridization using a PCR-derived probe including the active site region gives a single hybridization signal and refines the localization to 3q26.1-q26.2.
