MDA-7 PROTEIN VARIANTS HAVING ANTIPROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITY

摘要

The invention relates to the mda-7 gene, its encoded protein and fragments of the proteins. Several of these fragments of the MDA-7 protein exhibit antiproliferative activity and/or inhibited the activity of intact MDA-7. Accordingly, the invention provides, among other things, for methods and compositions that may be used in the treatment of disorders of cell proliferation, including cancer.
