NARC10 AND NARC16, PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH-ASSOCIATED MOLECULES AND USES THEREOF

摘要

Novel programmed cell death-like polypeptides, proteins, and nucleic acid molecules are disclosed. In addition to isolated, full-length programmed cell death-related polypeptides, the invention further provides isolated programmed cell death-related fusion proteins, antigenic peptides, and anti-programmed cell death-related antibodies. The invention also provides programmed cell death-related nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing a nucleic acid molecule of the invention, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a programmed cell death-related gene has been introduced or disrupted. Diagnostic, screening, and therapeutic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
