Human cDNAs and proteins and uses thereof

Abstract

The invention concerns GENSET polynucleotides and polypeptides. Such GENSET products may be used as reagents in forensic analyses, as chromosome markers, as tissue/cell/organelle-specific markers, in the production of expression vectors. In addition, they may be used in screening and diagnosis assays for abnormal GENSET expression and/or biological activity and for screening compounds that may be used in the treatment of GENSET-related disorders.

1 . A composition of matter comprising: 
 a) an isolated polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 6;    b) an expression vector comprising a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 6; or    c) a recombinant host cell comprising a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 6.    
   
   
       2 . The composition of matter according to  claim 1 , wherein said polynucleotide comprises SEQ ID NO: 5.  
   
   
       3 . A method of making a polypeptide, said method comprising 
 a) providing a population of host cells comprising the polynucleotide of  claim 1;     b) culturing said population of host cells under conditions conducive to the production of a polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 6; and    c) purifying said polypeptide from said population of host cells.
