The repeated epilation (Er) mutation is an autosomal defect that blocks differentiation in stratified epithelia and appendages in mice. Plasma retinol binding protein (RBP) was tested as a possible candidate gene for the Er defect because of the importance of retinol as a modulator of epithelial morphogenesis and differentiation. Two approaches were used: (1) cloning and sequencing of the RBP cDNA from normal and mutant mice, and (2) the chromosomal localization of the mouse RBP gene. The mouse RBP sequence differs slightly from that of the rat RBP, but mutant and normal mouse RBP have identical sequences. The mouse RBP gene was localized by in situ hybridization to the distal portion of chromosome 19. This physical mapping confirms the recent assignment of the gene to chromosome 19 by linkage analysis. These results eliminate the RBP gene as a candidate gene for the defect in the Er mutation that maps to chromosome 4.
