Ochiya et al. (1986) isolated a novel oncogene, which they designated LCA, from a primary human hepatocellular carcinoma by transforming assays using NIH 3T3 cells and a calcium phosphate coprecipitation method.
Ochiya et al. (1986) mapped the LCO gene to chromosome 2 by Southern blot analysis of DNA from flow-sorted human chromosomes and from human/mouse somatic hybrid cells. Tokino et al. (1988) regionalized the gene to 2q14-q21 by in situ hybridization.
The gene symbol proposed by the nomenclature committee of the Human Gene Mapping Workshops was LCO (McAlpine, 1989). (LCA was used as a symbol for 2 other genes: light chain A of clathrin (CLTA; 118960) and leukocyte common antigen (PTPRC; 151460).)
