MODULATORS OF THE FUNCTION OF RECEPTORS OF THE TNF/NGF RECEPTOR FAMILY AND OTHER PROTEINS

摘要

The invention relates to binding receptors of the TNF/NGF superfamily and to controlling the biological functions thereof. The TNF/NGF superfamily comprises receptors such as p55 and p75 receptor and of the tumor necrosis factor. In particular, the invention relates to a protein marked as RAP-2 (for RIP-associated protein-2), to its isoforms, fragments and derivatives, as well as to proteins binding to RAP-2.
