| 摘要 |
The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 18221 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel dual specificity phosphatase family members. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing 18221 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 18221 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 18221 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-18221 antibodies. Diagnostic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided. The invention also provides methods of modulating the differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic cells (e.g., erythroid cells) utilizing the compositions of the invention. Accordingly, methods of treating, preventing and/or diagnosing hematopoietic disorders are disclosed. |
