Patent ID: 7029890

Claim:
An isolated polynucleotide which encodes a protein having tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase activity and which is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polynucleotide which hybridizes to a nucleic acid sequence comprising nucleotides 82-1194 of SEQ ID NO:2; and (b) a polynucleotide which hybridizes to a nucleic acid sequence comprising nucleotides 289-1086 of SEQ ID NO:2; and wherein the polynucleotides of (a) and (b) hybridize under conditions comprising prehybridization and hybridization at 68° C. followed by washing twice with two×SSC, 0.1% SDS at 22° C., and washing twice with 0.2×SSC, 0.1% SDS at 22° C.; or prehybridization and hybridization at 42° C. in 5×SSPE, 0.3% SDS, 200 μg/ml sheared and denatured salmon sperm DNA, and 25% formamide, and washing with 2×SSC, 0.2% SDS at 50° C.
