Assignment of human ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) genes ARF1 and ARF3 to chromosomes 1q42 and 12q13, respectively

This report describes the localization of two ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) genes, ARF1 and ARF3, to human chromosomes 1q42 and 12q13, respectively, using fluorescence in situ hybridization and PCR screening with a hybrid cell panel. ARFs are a family of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins which are responsible for the vesicular transport of newly synthesized proteins. 14 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
