Abstract
The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 55596 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel protein kinase family members. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing 55596 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 55596 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 55596 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-55596 antibodies. Diagnostic and therapeutic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
Claims22
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of:
- a)a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 95% identical to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, or the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______;
- b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a fragment of at least 300 nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, SEQ ID NO:3, or the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______;
- c) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______;
- d) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a fragment of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______ wherein the fragment comprises at least 15 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:
- 2, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______;
- 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, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, 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 95% identical to a nucleic acid comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, SEQ ID NO:3, the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, or a complement thereof;
- b) a naturally occurring allelic variant of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, 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, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, wherein the fragment comprises at least 15 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:2.
