Abstract

This invention features methods and compositions useful for treating and diseases caused by a dysregulation of the BMP/GDF branch of the TGF-β signaling pathway. Also disclosed are methods for identifying compounds useful for such therapy.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for identifying a compound that modulates a TGF-β signaling pathway, said method comprising the steps of:
 a. providing a sample comprising a DRAGON protein and a TGF-β signaling pathway member; 
 b. contacting said sample with a candidate compound; and 
 c. assessing the binding of said DRAGON protein to said TGF-β signaling pathway member in said sample in the presence of said candidate compound relative to binding in the absence of said candidate compound, wherein a compound that modulates binding of said DRAGON protein to said TGF-β signaling pathway member is identified as a compound that modulates a TGF-β signaling pathway.
