Abstract:
An isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of:(a) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 from nucleotide 312 to nucleotide 1934;(b) a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2;(c) a nucleotide sequence encoding a fragment of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 having enzymatic activity in a mixed micelle assay with 1-palmitoyl-2-[.sup.14 C]-arachidonyl-phosphatidylcholine;(d) a nucleotide sequence capable of hybridizing under stringent conditions with the sequence of (a), (b) or (c) which encodes a peptide having enzymatic activity in a mixed micelle assay with 1-palmitoyl-2-[.sup.14 C]-arachidonyl-phosphatidylcholine;(e) allelic variants of the sequence of (a); and(f) species homologues of the sequence of (a) or (b).
