Dear Ms. Millburn,
I looked up our sequences for the two hexosaminidases and Hexo1 is found
on AE003480 between 293850 and 295050 bp at location 64B6. The
corresponding cDNA clone is GH07901.
Hexo2 is found on AE003444 at 294,355 to 295,955 at location 8A2. This
corresponds to cDNA GH11303.
If I can be of more assistance let me know.
