Human somatostatin receptor genes: localization of SSTR5 to human chromosome 20p11.2

Genomics. 1993 Sep;17(3):785-6. doi: 10.1006/geno.1993.1410.

Abstract

The gene encoding the somatostatin receptor subtype designated as SSTR5 was mapped to human chromosome 20p11.2 by using fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using a probe for SSTR5 in combination with probes for neuroendocrine convertase-2 (NEC2), thrombomodulin (THBD), and brain glycogen phosphorylase (PYGB) established a physical order for these loci of 20pter-NEC2-SSTR5-THBD-PYGB-cen.
