Abstract excerpt
This paper describes a search for a second functional human ferritin H gene in a collection of genomic clones. Nine new H-like sequences have been mapped to chromosomes 1p22-31, 1q32-42, 2q32-33, 3q21-23, 13q12, 14, 17p11-pter and X. These were examined for evidence of possible functionality by s...
