Patent ID: 7193133

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of: a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes SEQ ID NO: 1; b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 95% identical to the nucleic acid molecule that encodes SEQ ID NO: 1; c) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a peptide that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; d) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes with a nucleic acid probe consisting of the complementary nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid molecule that encodes SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein hybridization conditions comprise two washes in 0.2×SSC at 65° C. for 20 minutes each; and e) a fragment comprising at least 90% of the consecutive nucleotides of a nucleic acid molecule that encodes SEQ ID NO: 1.
