An alpha-fucosidase pseudogene on human chromosome 2.
In Chinese hamster-human hybrids with overlapping translocations, the major site of hybridization of a cDNA clone for the liver form of human alpha-L-fucosidase was 1p36.13----1p34, consistent with hybridization to the FUCAl locus. No hybridization to the FUCA2 locus on chromosome 6 was observed. Hybridization to a genomic sequence on chromosome 2 was, however, detected, thus defining a new FUCA-like locus. The restriction map of the alpha-fucosidase cDNA could be exactly superimposed upon its region of homology within a genomic clone containing this FUCA-like locus, suggesting that it is a processed pseudogene.[1]References
