Patent ID: 7727742

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising: (a) a nucleotide sequence that is at least 95% identical to the nucleotide sequence of either SEQ ID NO: 1 or the DNA insert in ATCC Deposit No. PTA-626; (b) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide that is at least 95% identical to the polypeptide of either SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 5; (c) a region of the nucleotide sequence of either SEQ ID NO: 1 or the DNA insert in ATCC Deposit No. PTA-626, encoding a polypeptide fragment of at least 150 amino acid residues; (d) a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 5 having a C- and/or N-terminal truncation, wherein the polypeptide comprises at least 150 amino acid residues; or (e) a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of any of (a)-(d).
