WT1 interacting protein WTIP

Abstract

A human WT1 interacting protein (WTIP) having the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2 or a gene encoding it.

1 - 18 . (canceled)  
     
     
         19 . A DNA that specifically hybridizes to a DNA comprising the base sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 and that has a chain length of at least 15 bases.  
     
     
         20 . A nucleic acid encoding a WT1 interacting protein having the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, or a protein that has an amino acid sequence in which one or a plurality of amino acids have been substituted, deleted, inserted, and/or added in the amino acids of said protein and that is functionally equivalent to the protein having the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2.  
     
     
         21 . A vector comprising the nucleic acid according to  claim 20 .  
     
     
         22 . A host cell carrying the vector according to  claim 21 .  
     
     
         23 . A DNA hybridizing under stringent conditions to DNA having the base sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 and that is functionally equivalent to the protein having the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2.  
     
     
         24 . A vector comprising the DNA according to  claim 20 .  
     
     
         25 . A host cell carrying the vector according to  claim 21 .  
     
     
         26 . A nucleic acid encoding a WT1 interacting protein comprising an amino acid sequence from Glu at position 449 to Met at position 541 in SEQ ID NO: 2.  
     
     
         27 . A vector comprising the nucleic acid encoding the protein according to  claim 26 .  
     
     
         28 . A host cell carrying the vector according to  claim 27.
