摘要 |
The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 56294 and 56229 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel metalloprotease family members. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing 56294 or 56629nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 56294 or 56629 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 56294 or 56629 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-56294, anti-56629 antibodies. Diagnostic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided. |
