NOVEL PROTEIN, ITS GENE, REAGENTS FOR INDUCING APOPTOSIS, AND ANTICANCER AGENTS

摘要

A novel protein exhibiting the activitics of inducing cell death or inhibiting cancer cell proliferation; fragments thereof; a gene encoding the protein and a monoclonal antibody thereof; reagents for inducing apoptosis to study the mechanism of the induction of cell death by inducing apoptosis of cells including cancer cells in vitro with the use of the protein based on the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID No:1 in the Sequence Listing, fragments thereof a gene encoding the same; and anticancer agents.
