27411, A HUMAN PHOSPHATIDYL-GLYCEROLPHOSPHATE (PGP) SYNTHASE

摘要

The present invention relates to a newly identified human PGP synthase. The invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the PGP synthase. The invention further relates to methods using the PGP synthase polypeptides and polynucleotides as a target for diagnosis and treatment in PGP synthase-mediated or -related disorders. The invention further relates to drug-screening methods using the PGP synthase polypeptides and polynucleotides to identify agonists and antagonists for diagnosis and treatment. The invention further encompasses agonists and antagonists based on the PGP synthase polypeptides and polynucleotides. The invention further relates to procedures for producing the PGP synthase polypeptides and polynucleotides.
