| 摘要 |
The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 56638 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel neprilysin family members. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing 56638 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 56638 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 56638 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-56638 antibodies. Diagnostic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided. The invention also provides methods of modulating pain or pain related disorders utilizing the compositions of the invention. Accordingly, methods of treating, preventing and/or diagnosing pain or pain related disorders are disclosed.
