Sequence contiguity and allelic structure for the murine zinc finger-encoding gene mKr5

The nucleotide sequence of the murine zinc finger (Zf)-encoding gene, mKr5, was determined to allow sequence contiguity to be established. From this, it was determined that the gene encodes a protein containing 14 Zf of the C2H2 type. Genomic mapping also indicated that there are either two allelic loci or a pseudogene for mKr5 present in the murine genome.
