NOVEL POLYNUCLEOTIDES AND POLYPEPTIDES ENCODED THEREBY

摘要

The present invention provides novel polypeptides, termed PTMAX polypeptides, as well as polynucleotides encoding PTMAX polypeptides and antibodies that immunospecifically bind to PTMAX or a derivative, variant, mutant, or fragment of the PTMAX polypeptide, polynucleotide or antibody. The invention additionally provides methods in which the PTMAX polypeptide, polynucleotide and antibody are used in detection and treatment of a broad range of pathological states, as well as to other uses.
