The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 32544 nucleic
acid molecules, which encode novel phospholipase family members. The invention
also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors
containing 32544 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors
have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 32544 gene has
been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 32544
proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-32544 antibodies. Diagnostic
methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
