Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of (a) a canine cDNA or mRNA molecule encoding a protein having cyclooxygenase activity comprising a nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes with a nucleic acid molecule having a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:6 and SEQ ID NO:8, under conditions comprising (1) hybridizing in a solution comprising 1Ã—SSC in the absence of nucleic acid helix destabilizing compounds, at a temperature of about 37Â° C. and (2) washing in a solution comprising 1Ã—SSC in the absence of helix destabilizing compounds, at a temperature of about 76Â° C., and (b) a nucleic acid molecule fully complementary to a nucleic acid molecule of (a), wherein said nucleic acid molecule of (a) encodes a protein having cyclooxygenase activity.
