Assignment of the human tyrosine aminotransferase gene to chromosome 16

Assignment of the human tyrosine aminotransferase gene to chromosome 16

E Natt et al. Hum Genet. 1986 Mar.

Abstract

The liver enzyme tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT; EC 2.6.1.5) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the catabolic pathway of tyrosine. Deficiency in TAT enzyme activity underlies the autosomally inherited disorder tyrosinemia II (Richner-Hanhart syndrome). Using a human TAT cDNA clone as hybridization probe, we have determined the chromosomal location of the TAT structural gene by Southern blot analysis of DNAs from a series of human X rodent somatic cell hybrids. The results assign the TAT gene to human chromosome 16.
