GLUTAMINE: FRUCTOSE-6-PHOSPHATE AMINOTRANSFERASE II ENZYME AND THEIR ENCODING NUCLEIC ACIDS

摘要

The present invention relates to human, mouse, and rat cDNA that encodes a novel glutamine: fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase type II enzyme. The invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules associated with or derived from the cDNA, including the complements, homologues and fragments thereof. The invention also provides methods of using the nucleic acid molecules, for example, to produce a protein and fragments thereof and to screen for compounds or compositions that preferentially or specifically effect the activity of a GFAT II protein.
