Summary
A cDNA probe of 527 base pairs coding for the human platelet proteoglycan (PPG) protein core demonstrated that the PPG gene lies on the long arm of chromosome 10, band q22.1. This result and other available data concerning proteoglycans containing serine-glycine repeats indicate that this gene is involved in the expression of a proteoglycan in various blood cell types.
