ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a novel human integral membrane (TMP-1) and polynucleotides which identify and encode TMP-1. The invention also provides genetically engineered expression vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequences encoding TMP-1 and a method for producing TMP-1. The invention also provides for agonists, antibodies, or antagonists specifically binding TMP-1, and their use, in the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with expression of TMP-1. Additionally, the invention provides for the use of antisense molecules to polynucleotides encoding TMP-1 for the treatment of diseases associated with the expression of TMP-1. The invention also provides diagnostic assays which utilize the polynucleotide, or fragments or the complement thereof, and antibodies specifically binding TMP-1.
