Tear prealbumin, a major protein of the human tear fluid, is also present in several other human body secretions. Recently it was shown to be a member of the lipocalin superfamily, a class of proteins that function as carriers for small hydrophobic molecules. Using a genomic tear prealbumin probe, we have mapped the gene (LCN1) to human chromosome 8q24 by fluorescent in situ hybridization.
