PROTEIN PHOSPHATASE MOLECULES AND USES THEREFOR

摘要

CSAPTP (Cardiovascular System Associated Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase) polypeptides, proteins, and nucleic acid molecules are disclosed. In addition to isolated, full-length CSAPTP proteins, the invention further provides isolated CSAPTP fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-CSAPTP antibodies. The invention also provides CSAPTP nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing a nucleic acid molecule of the invention, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced and non-human transgenic animals in which a CSAPTP gene has been introduced or disrupted. Diagnostic, screening and therapeutic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
