Regional mapping of the human platelet-activating factor receptor gene (PTAFR) to 1p35→p34.3 by fluorescence in situ hybridization
16 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
The human platelet-activating factor cell-surface receptor (PTAFR) is a G protein-coupled receptor thought to contribute to many atopic and inflammatory diseases and, perhaps, to the growth of some neoplasms. Exploring the possibility that the PTAFR might be involved in the genetic predisposition to any disease requires knowledge of its chromosomal localization. In this paper we have used a 20-kb human genomic...
