Abstract
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase is the key regulatory enzyme for cholesterol biosynthesis. The human gene (HMGCR)has been assigned to the q13.3–q14 region of chromosome 5 (HSA5). We have now mapped the mouse gene Hmgcrto mouse chromosome 13 by Southern analysis of somatic cell hybrids. We also report the mapping to mouse chromosome 13 of the murine homolog of the gene for an intronless β 2-adrenergic-like receptor, which is also located on human chromosome 5 region q11.2–q13 and has recently been identified as the serotonin la receptor. Our results confirm the existence of an evolutionarily conserved syntenic group of genes on the proximal long arm of HSA5 and on MMU13 that also includes the loci for arylsulfatase B, hexosaminidase B and dihydrofolate reductase.
