Human homologue of UNC-53 protein of C. elegans

摘要

There is disclosed human homologues of the UNC-53 protein of C. elegans and cDNA sequences coding for said homologues or functional equivalents thereof. The invention also relates to processes for identifying compounds which control cell behaviour, compounds identified and pharmaceutical compositions containing them in addition to processes and assays for identifying disease states in which said gene or protein is dysfunctional.
