Abstract
A cDNA clone of the E3 isozyme of human liver aldehyde dehydrogenase consisting of a 1320-base pair (bp) coding region and a 180-bp non-coding region at the 3′ end was used for chromosomal localization of the E3 gene. Using a panel of human/hamster somatic cell hybrids we have localized, the gene coding for the E3 isozyme to human chromosome 1.
