Molecular cloning and sequence analysis of cDNA encoding human cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase.

abstract：:We report here the isolation and sequence determination of a gene closely linked to the Astyanax red visual pigment gene. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assays show that this new gene (B23 Af) and the previously characterized red and green visual pigment genes of Astyanax are all expressed in the eye....
