摘要 |
Novel polynucleotides and secreted proteins encoded thereby are disclosed. The proteins can be used as therapeutics, for example, to stimulate blood cell generation in patients receiving cancer chemotherapy, to treat bone marrow transplantation patients, and to heal fractured bones. Polynucleotides of the invention can be used therapeutically, to provide proteins of the invention. Polynucleotides of the invention can also be used diagnostically, such as on polynucleotide arrays, to detect differential gene expression in diseased tissue compared with gene expression in normal tissue. |
