The present invention provides an isolated nucleic acid molecule, which is designated 9136 nucleic acid molecule, which encodes a member of a novel aldehyde dehydrogenase family. The present invention also includes antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors comprising 9136 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which these expression vectors are introduced, and non-human transgenic animals into which this 9136 gene has been introduced or destroyed. provide. The present invention still further provides isolated 9136 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-9136 antibodies. Also provided are diagnostic and therapeutic methods utilizing the compositions of the present invention. |
