1. An isolated labeled nucleic acid molecule consisting of (i) at least 8 contiguous nucleotides from the coding region of a nucleic acid encoding the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2 or from the complement of the coding region of a nucleic acid encoding the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, and (ii) a detectable label bound to the nucleic acid molecule by a method selected from the group consisting of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), nick translation, end labeling, fill-in end labeling, polynucleotide kinase exchange reaction and random priming.
