STMST PROTEIN AND NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES AND USES THEREFOR

摘要

Novel STMST polypeptides, proteins, and nucleic acid molecules are disclosed. In addition to isolated, full-length STMST proteins, the invention further provides isolated STMST fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-STMST antibodies. The invention also provides STMST nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing a nucleic acid molecule of the invention, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced and non-human transgenic animals in which an STMST gene has been introduced or disrupted. Diagnostic, screening and therapeutic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
