ISOLATION AND CLONING OF THE HUMAN hARSA-I GENE AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention provides DNA encoding a human ARSA-I protein selected from the group consisting of: (a) isolated DNA which encodes a human ARSA-I protein; (b) isolated DNA which hybridizes to isolated DNA of (a) above and which encodes a human ARSA-I protein; and (c) isolated DNA differing from the isolated DNAs of (a) and (b) above in codon sequence due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, and which encodes a human ARSA-I protein. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising human ARSA-I protein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and host cells transfected with the vector of the present invention said vector expressing a human ARSA-I protein.
