Abstract:
An isolated rat-derived nucleic acid encoding a protein having protoporphyrinogen oxidase activity, wherein said nucleic acid comprises the nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of:(a) a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; (b) a nucleotide sequence obtainable from a rat cDNA library which is amplified with a combination of PCR primers, wherein the forward primer is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 5 and SEQ ID NO: 7, and the reverse primer is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:6 and SEQ ID NO:8, and wherein said nucleotide sequence comprises the nucleotide sequence of a polynucleotide which is amplifiable with a combination of the PCR primers of SEQ ID NO:3 and the PCR primer of SEQ ID NO:4; and (c) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.
