Abstract
The segregation of the mouse gene for uridine monophosphatase-2 (Umph-2) was examined in 14 independent mouse-Syrian hamster hybrids and 10 hybrid subclones. Umph-2 cosegregated with the mouse galactokinase (Glk) gene in 23 of the 24 hybrids and showed at least four discordances with all other mouse marker isozymes examined. The observed synteny of Umph-2 and Glk, which has also been observed in humans, indicates that the mouse Umph-2 gene is on chromosome 11.
