NEURALIZED PROTEIN, POLYNUCLEOTIDE ENCODING THE SAME, AND ANTIBODY RECOGNIZING THE SAME

摘要

A gene causative of nerve mutation located in a site in the human tenth chromosome frequently suffering from deletion and having been identified; a protein (a nerve mutation factor) encoded by this gene; and an antibody against this protein. Because of showing a high homology with a Drosophila neuralized gene, this human gene causative of nerve mutation is a human homolog of the neuralized gene. Also, provision is made of a mouse neuralized gene; a protein encoded by this gene; and an antibody against the same.
