Patent ID: 7923598

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of a) an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or the full complement thereof; b) an isolated nucleic acid molecule which encodes a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, or the full complement thereof; c) an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 85% identical to the entire nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or the full complement thereof; d) an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes to the complement of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 in 4× sodium chloride/sodium citrate (SSC), at about 65-70° C., followed by one or more washes in 1×SSC, at about 65-70° C., or the full complement thereof; e) an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a fragment of at least 25 contiguous nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or the full complement thereof; and f) an isolated nucleic acid molecule which encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which is at least 85% identical to the entire amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, or the full complement thereof.
