Novel human glycoprotein

摘要

The present invention provides polynucleotides which identify and encode a novel human glycoprotein (SC2H). The invention provides for genetically engineered expression vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequence encoding SC2H. The invention also provides for the use of substantially purified SC2H and its agonists in the commercial production of recombinant proteins for the treatment of diseases associated with the expression of SC2H. Additionally, the invention provides for the use of antisense molecules to SC2H in the treatment of diseases associated with the expression of SC2H. The invention also describes diagnostic assays which utilize diagnostic compositions comprising the polynucleotides which hybridize with naturally occurring sequences encoding SC2H and antibodies which specifically bind to the protein.
