26886, A NOVEL CARNITINE ACYLTRANSFERASE FAMILY MEMBER AND USES THEREFOR

摘要

The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 26886 nucleic acid molecules, which encode a novel carnitine acyltransferase. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing 26886 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 26886 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 26886 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-26886 antibodies. Diagnostic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
