2. The recombinant expression vector of claim 1 , wherein said isolated nucleic acid molecule comprises the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.
3. A host cell comprising the vector of claim 1 .
4. A recombinant expression vector comprising an isolated nucleic acid molecule that encodes the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4.
5. The recombinant expression vector of claim 4 , wherein said isolated nucleic acid molecule comprises the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3.
6. A host cell comprising the vector of claim 4 .
