Chromosome assignments in man of the genes for two hexosephosphate isomerases

Thirty-seven clones of somatic cell hybrids between human and mouse cells were examined for retention of human chromosomes and expression of human constitutive enzymes. Human glucosephosphate isomerase and chromosome F-19 were retained or lost concordantly, as were human mannosephosphate isomerase and chromosome C-7. The genes for the enzymes are thus assigned to these two chromosomes.
