Novel nucleic acids and polypeptides related to a farnesyl-directed cysteine carboxymethyltransferase

摘要

The present invention relates to a farnesyl-directed cysteine carboxymethyltransferase nucleic acid and polypeptide, especially one which is obtainable or derived from a human. The nucleic acid and polypeptide is useful in diagnostics and in assays for identifying agents which modulate signalling pathways, especially pathways involved in the cell cycle, cell proliferation, and cancer.
