Abstract:
An isolated, enriched, or purified nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence that:(a) encodes a polypeptide having the full length amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 21; (b) is the complement of the nucleotide sequence of (a); (c) differs from the nucleic acid sequence encoding SEQ ID NO:21 by lacking one of the following segments of amino acid residues: 1-182, 183-470, or 471-499; (d) is the complement of the nucleotide sequence of (c); (e) encodes a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in residues 1-182 or encodes a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in residues 471-499 of SEQ ID NO:21; (f) is the complement of the nucleotide sequence of (e); (g) has the full length nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:22; or (h) is the complement of the nucleotide sequence of(g).
