Human genes involved in cholesterol metabolism: chromosomal mapping of the loci for the low density lipoprotein receptor and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase with cDNA probes
Abstract
Cellular cholesterol metabolism is regulated primarily through the coordinate expression of two proteins, the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase (EC 1.1.1.34). We have used cDNA probes for the human genes encoding these proteins to determine the precise chromosomal location of the two loci. By in situ hybridization we have regionally mapped the LDL receptor gene, LDLR, to the short arm of chromosome 19 in bands p13.1-p13.3. This result concurs with and extends a previous study in which LDLR was mapped to chromosome 19 by screening somatic cell hybrids with a species-specific monoclonal antibody. We have assigned the HMG-CoA reductase gene, HMGCR, to chromosome 5 by Southern blotting of DNA from a somatic cell hybrid panel and to bands 5q13.3-q14 by in situ hybridizations of the cDNA probe to human metaphase cells with normal and rearranged chromosomes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
