METHODS AND MATERIALS RELATING TO NOVEL GROWTH REGULATORY-LIKE POLYPEPTIDES AND POLYNUCLEOTIDES

摘要

The invention provides novel polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded by such polynucleotides and mutants or variants thereof that correspond to a novel human growth regulatory-like polypeptide. These polynucleotides comprise nucleic acid sequences isolated from cDNA libraries from human thymus (Hyseq clone identification number 16372272). Other aspects of the invention include vectors containing processes for producing novel human growth regulatory-like polypeptides, and antibodies specific for such polypeptides.
