Methods and materials relating to semaphorin-like polypeptides and polynucleotides

摘要

The invention provides novel polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded by such polynucleotides and mutants or variants thereof that correspond to a novel human secreted semaphorin-like polypeptide. These polynucleotides comprise nucleic acid sequences isolated from cDNA library from fetal liver-spleen (Hyseq clone identification numbers 5688868 (SEQ ID NO: 1)). Other aspects of the invention include vectors containing processes for producing novel human secreted semaphorin-like polypeptides, and antibodies specific for such polypeptides.
