NES-1 polypeptides, DNA, and related molecules and methods

摘要

The expression and purification of normal epithelial specific polypeptide (NES1) which is expressed in normal cells, but not in radiation transformed cells, are described. Both the DNA sequence encoding the NES1 and the corresponding amino acid sequence are disclosed. Also, disclosed are methods for carcinoma detection and treatment using the NES1 as well as methods of identifying compounds modulating the expression and activity of NES1.
