33166, A HUMAN HYDROLASE-LIKE MOLECULE AND USES THEREOF

摘要

Novel alpha/beta hydrolase-like polypeptides, proteins, and nucleic acid molecules are disclosed. In addition to isolated, full-length alpha/beta hydrolase-like proteins, the invention further provides isolated alpha/beta hydrolase-like fusion proteins, antigenic peptides, and anti-alpha/beta hydrolase-like antibodies. The invention also provides alpha/beta hydrolase-like nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing a nucleic acid molecule of the invention, host cells into which the expression vectors hava been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which an alpha/beta hydrolase-like gene has been introduced or disrupted. Diagnostic, screening, and therapeutic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided. Therapeutic methods for treating breast, lung, colon, brain, and ovary cancers using the hydrolase-like molecules are described.
