Mapping of the creatine kinase M gene to 19q11----q12 in the rabbit genome.

The chromosomal localization of the gene for creatine kinase M has been determined to be on rabbit chromosome 19 at q11----q12 by in situ molecular hybridization. The results show significant cross-hybridization of the creatine kinase, muscle (CKMM) probe to the previously mapped creatine kinase, brain (CKBB) locus at 20q13----qter, and therefore provide independent support for the localization of CKBB at that site.
