NOVEL POLYPEPTIDE-EF-CHIRAL CALCIUM-BINDING PROTEIN 42 AND POLYNUCLEOTIDE ENCODING IT

摘要

The invention concerns EF-chiral calcium-binding protein 42 and polynucleotide encoding it. The invention also concerns the process of producing the polypeptide by recombinant DNA technique. The methods for treating many diseases e.g. malignant tumor, hemopathy, infection of HIV, immunological diseases and a variety of inflammations utilizing the polypeptide are disclosed. The invention discloses the antagonist against the polypeptide and therapeutics thereof. The invention also discloses the uses of the polynucleotide, which encodes EF-chiral calcium-binding protein 42.
