Abstract:
1. An isolated genomic nucleic acid molecule, said nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleic acid molecule consisting of a nucleic acid sequence which has at least 99% identity to the nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO:4 and which encodes a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said polypeptide binds to syntaxins 1A, 2 and 3 but not to syntaxin 4; (b) a fragment of the nucleic acid molecule of (a), said fragment comprising at least nucleotides 8391-19051 of SEQ ID NO:4 and which encodes a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said polypeptide binds to syntaxins 1A, 2 and 3 but not to syntaxin 4, and; (c) a full complement of (a) or (b) in a sample.
