| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a human selenoprotein (HSEL) and polynucleotides which identify and encode HSEL. The invention also provides genetically engineered expression vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequences encoding HSEL and a method for producing HSEL. The invention also provides for agonists, antibodies, or antagonists specifically binding HSEL, and their use, in the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with expression of HSEL. Additionally, the invention provides for the use of antisense molecules to polynucleotides encoding HSEL for the treatment of diseases associated with the expression of HSEL. The invention also provides diagnostic assays which utilize the polynucleotide, or fragments or the complement thereof, and antibodies specifically binding HSEL.
