Acute neuronal induced calcium binding protein type 1 ligand

A polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of:

• (a) a polynucleotide comprising a polynucleotide sequence having at least 95% identity to the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 1;
• (b) a polynucleotide having at least 95% identity to the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:
• 1;
• (c) a polynucleotide comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide sequence having at least 95% identity to the polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 2;
• (d) a polynucleotide having a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide sequence having at least 95% identity to the polypeptide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 2;
• (e) a polynucleotide with a nucleotide sequence of at least 100 nucleotides obtained by screening a library under stringent hybridization conditions with a labeled probe having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 1 or a fragment thereof having at least 15 nucleotides;
• (f a polynucleotide which is the RNA equivalent of a polynucleotide of (a) to (e);
• (g) a polynucleotide sequence complementary to said polynucleotide of any one of (a) to (f, and
• (h) polynucleotides that are variants or fragments of the polynucleotides of any one of (a) to (g) or that are complementary to above mentioned polynucleotides, over the entire length thereof.
