Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule that hybridizes under stringent conditions to the nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO:1, or to the complement of the nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO:1, provided that said isolated nucleic acid molecule does not consist of a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:10 and SEQ ID NO:11 or a nucleic acid sequence complementary to a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:10 and SEQ ID NO:11, wherein said stringent hybridization conditions consist of hybridization in 3.times.SSC at 65.degree. C. for 16 hours, followed by two washes in 2.times.SSC at 23.degree. C. for 20 minutes per wash, followed by one wash in 0.5.times.SSC at 55.degree. C. for 30 minutes.
