Abstract
The present invention relates to the discovery of novel genes encoding a polypeptide having creatinine deiminase activity and methods of use. Also disclosed is a kit using the novel sequences for determining the concentration of creatinine in a sample.
Claims20
An isolated or purified nucleic acid coding for a polypeptide having creatinine deiminase activity, selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) the nucleic acid with a sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a fragment thereof coding for a polypeptide having creatinine deiminase activity;
- (b) a nucleic acid having a sequence that is at least 95% identical to (a) and coding for a polypeptide having creatinine deiminase activity;
- and
- (c) a nucleic acid having a degenerate form of the nucleic acid sequence according to (a) or (b).
