56939, a novel human acyl-CoA thioesterase family member and uses thereof

Abstract

The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 56939 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel acyl-CoA thioesterase family members. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing 56939 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 56939 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 56939 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-56939 antibodies. Diagnostic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
