Abstract
Laminin is a multichain extracellular matrix glycoprotein found primarily in basement membranes. The molecule is made up of three subunits, designated as A, B1, and B2. Using an 850-base cDNA probe for the mouse laminin A-chain and a 1000-base cDNA probe for the mouse laminin B2 chain, we have screened mouse—Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids in order to assign the genes for each of these polypeptides to their respective mouse chromosome. We have determined that the mouse laminin B2-chain gene is located on chromosome 1 (confirming this assignment) and the laminin A-chain gene is located on chromosome 17.
