Abstract
The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 32132 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel fucosyltransferase family members. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing 32132 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 32132 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 32132 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-32132 antibodies. Diagnostic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
Claims29
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of:
- a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 80% identical to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or SEQ ID NO:3;
- b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a fragment of at least 300 nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or SEQ ID NO:3;
- c) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2;
- d) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a fragment of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the fragment comprises at least 15 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:2;
- and
- e) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a naturally occurring allelic variant of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the nucleic acid molecule hybridizes to a nucleic acid molecule comprising SEQ ID NO:
- 1, 3, or a complement thereof, under stringent conditions.
An isolated polypeptide selected from the group consisting of:
- a) a polypeptide which is encoded by a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 80% identical to a nucleic acid comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or SEQ ID NO:3;
- b) a naturally occurring allelic variant of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the polypeptide is encoded by a nucleic acid molecule which hybridizes to a nucleic acid molecule comprising SEQ ID NO:
- 1, SEQ ID NO:3, or a complement thereof under stringent conditions;
- and
- c) a fragment of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the fragment comprises at least 15 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:2.
