METHODS AND MATERIALS RELATING TO LEUCINE-RICH REPEAT PROTEIN-LIKE (LRR PROTEIN-LIKE) POLYPEPTIDES AND POLYNUCLEOTIDES

摘要

The invention provides novel polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded by suchpolynucleotides and mutants or variants thereof that correspond to a novelhuman secreted LRR protein-like polypeptide. These polynucleotides comprisenucleic acid sequences isolated from cDNA library from thymus (Hyseq cloneidentification numbers 16395938 (SEQ ID NO: 1)). Other aspects of theinvention include vectors containing processes for producing novel humansecreted LRR protein-like polypeptides, and antibodies specific for suchpolypeptides.
