A NEW EGF MOTIF REPEAT PROTEIN OBTAINED FROM A cDNA LIBRARY FROM HS-5 STROMAL CELL LINE

摘要

The present invention relates to a new EGF motif repeat protein obtained from a cDNA library from HS-5 stromal cell line, nucleic acid molecules that encode the EGF motif repeat protein or a fragment thereof and nucleic acid molecules that are useful as probes or primers for detecting or amplifying the EGF motif repeat protein, respectively. The invention further relates to uses of the EGF motif repeat protein. The invention also relates to applications of the factor or fragment such as forming antibodies capable of binding the factor or fragments thereof.
