Summary
The human NK-2 receptor gene has been mapped to chromosome 10 using the polymerase chain reaction to amplify specifically the human NK-2 receptor sequence in hamster/human hybrid DNA and also in mouse/human monochromosome hybrids. The assignment to chromosome 10 was confirmed by in situ hybridisation to human metaphase chromosomes, giving a regional localisation of 10q11–21.
