Abstract
The human gene encoding thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor was assigned to chromosome 8, using human-Chinese hamster ovary somatic cell hybrids, analyzed by Southern hybridizations. Hybridization was carried out with a 32P-labeled fragment of the human TRH-R genomic DNA. Hybridization of this probe to a human specific 10.5-kb DNA fragment of EcoRI-digested WBC DNA was used to localize the human TRH-R gene. No hybridization, by contrast, was seen with this probe and hamster DNA after EcoRI treatment. Results from 18 somatic cell hybrids corroborated unequivocally that the human TRH-R gene can be assigned to human chromosome 8.
