Abstract:
A substantially purified polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting ofa) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1,b) a naturally-occurring amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein said amino acid sequence encodes a polypeptide having lysophospholipase activity,c) a biologically-active fragment of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein said fragment encodes a polypeptide having lysophospholipase activity, andd) an immunologically-active fragment of at least 15 amino acid residues of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein said polypeptide containing said fragment generates an antibody that specifically binds to the polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.
