46694, a human alpha/beta hydrolase family member and uses therefor

The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 46694 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel alpha/beta hydrolase family members. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing 46694 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 46694 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 46694 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-46694 antibodies. Diagnostic and therapeutic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
