ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides nucleotide and amino acid sequences that identify and encode a human homolog of rat elastase IV (HEIV) expressed in pancreas tissue. The present invention also provides for antisense molecules to the nucleotide sequences which encode HEIV, hybridization probes or oligonucleotides for the detection of HEIV-encoding nucleotide sequences, and a diagnostic test based on HEIV-encoding nucleic acid molecules. The present invention further provides for genetically engineered host cells for the expression of HEIV, biologically active HEIV, antibodies capable for binding specifically to HEIV, and treatment methods comprising administration of compounds, such antibodies or inhibitors, capable of binding HEIV to alter its activity.
