BSTP-ECG1 PROTEIN AND RELATED REAGENTS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention provides polypeptides (BSTP-ECG1) and polynucleotides which identify and encode BSTP-ECG1 and fragments and variants thereof. The invention also provides expression vectors, host cells, antibodies, agonists, and antagonists. In addition, the invention provides methods for treating or preventing disorders of cell proliferation, particularly breast cancer, by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a polypeptide, polynucleotide, or antibody of the invention. The invention also provides methods of classifying diseases, particularly breast cancer, by detecting expression of BSTP-ECG1 or of a polynucleotide encoding BSTP-ECG1, and of providing diagnostic, prognostic, and/or predictive information for a patient based on the detection and/or measurement of BSTP-ECG1 or of a polynucleotide encoding BSTP-ECG1.
