COSTAL2 GENES AND THEIR USES

摘要

Methods for isolating costal2 genes are provided. The costal2 nucleic acid compositions find use in identifying homologous or related proteins and the DNA sequences encoding such proteins; in producing compositions that modulate the expression or function of the protein; and in studying associated physiological pathways. In addition, modulation of the gene activity in vivo is used for prophylatic and therapeutic purposes, such as identification of cell type based on expression, and the like.
