Patent ID: 7161061

Claim:
A substantially purified nucleic acid molecule that encodes an adenylate transporter, wherein said nucleic acid molecule is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2; (b) a nucleic acid sequence comprising the AANT1 coding region of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or the complement thereof; (c) a nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes to the AANT1 coding region of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 or the complement thereof under high stringency conditions of 0.2×SSC and 65° C.; and (d) a nucleic acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to the AANT1 coding region of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or the complement thereof wherein said nucleic acid molecule is operably linked to a heterologous promoter.
