Characterization and chromosomal localization of the gene encoding the human cell adhesion molecule uvomorulin

Abstract
We have isolated an approximately 2.0-kb human cDNA clone containing coding sequences for the human cell adhesion molecule, uvomorulin. Comparison of human and mouse cDNA revealed extensive homology of 82% for the nucleotide and 83% for the deduced amino acid sequence. This and other structural features common to both cDNAs demonstrate that uvomorulin is evolutionarily highly conserved in mammals and underline its functional importance in histogenesis. Moreover, with the use of human x mouse somatic-cell hybrids, the human uvomorulin gene was localized on chromosome 16, in the region 16p11-16qter.
