| abstractText | Atrial natriuretic factors (ANF) are polypeptides having natriuretic, diuretic, and smooth muscle-relaxing activities that are synthesized from a single larger precursor: pronatriodilatin. Chromosomal assignment of the gene coding for human pronatriodilatin was accomplished by in situ hybridization of a [3H]-labeled pronatriodilatin probe to human chromosome preparations and by Southern blot analysis of somatic cell hybrid DNAs with normal and rearranged chromosomes 1. The human pronatriodilatin gene was mapped to the distal short arm of chromosome 1, in band 1p36. Southern blot analysis of mouse X Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids was used to assign the mouse pronatriodilatin gene to chromosome 4. This assignment adds another locus to the conserved syntenic group of homologous genes located on the distal half of the short arm of human chromosome 1 and on mouse chromosome 4. |
