Abstract
The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 22406 nucleic acid molecules, which encode a novel pyridoxal-phosphate dependent serine racemase. In particular, the invention relates to 22406 serine racemase polypeptide and encoding nucleic acid molecules. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing 22406 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 22406 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 22406 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-22406 antibodies. Diagnostic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
