The bfp, a member of the RING finger family, has been shown to be predominantly expressed in brain and up-regulated in neural differentiation of P19 embryonic carcinoma cells. Chromosome mapping of the bfp gene by fluorescence in situ hybridization reveals that human BFP (ZNF179) is located at 17p11.2, mouse Bfp at 11B1.3, and rat BFP at 10q22. These results provide additional evidence that the mouse 11B region displays conserved linkage homology with the 17p11.2 region of the human genome and the 10q22 region of the rat genome. 12 refs., 2 figs.
