Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase derived polypeptides useful for the regulation of angiogenesis

摘要

The invention describes an isolated polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence which encodes a polypeptide capable of inhibiting angiogenesis or neovascularization and which nucleotide sequence is at least 95 percent identical to a sequence selected from the group consisting of a sequence that encodes the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:7, a sequence that encodes the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 12 and a sequence that encodes a fragment of the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 12. A vector comprising said isolated polynucleotide, recombinant host cells including said isolated polynucleotide or said vector, and uses of said polynucleotide, said vector, or the polypeptide encoded by said isolated polynucleotide are also provided.
