PROTEIN HAVING ACTIVITY OF ACTIVITING NERVE CELL FUNCTIONS

摘要

A gene hucep-14 encoding a novel protein HUCEP-14 having the activity of activating nerve cell functions and obtained by cloning a human cerebral cortex-derived cDNA library; and the novel protein HUCEP-14 obtained by culturing a tranformant constructed by using an expression vector containing the above gene. This protein is useful as a nerve cell function activator.
