The present invention features nucleic acids and polypeptides encoding
novel splice variant isoforms of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2 (ACC2). The
polynucleotide sequence of ACC2sv1 is provided by SEQ ID NO 3. The amino
acid sequence of ACC2sv1 is provided by SEQ ID NO 4. The present
invention also provides methods for using ACC2sv1 polynucleotides and
proteins to screen for compounds that bind to ACC2sv1.
