ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an isolated Bcl-Y protein, nucleotide sequences coding for and regulating expression of the protein, antibodies directed against the protein, and recombinant vectors and host cells containing the genetic sequences coding for and regulating the expression of the protein sequence. The invention is also directed to genomic DNA, cDNA, and RNA encoding the Bcl-Y protein sequence and to corresponding antisense RNA sequences. Antibodies can be used to detect Bcl-Y in biological specimens, including, for example, human tissue samples. The present invention is further directed to methods of treating degenerative disorders characterized in inappropriate cell proliferation or inappropriate cell death. The present invention is further directed to methods for diagnosing degenerative disorders characterized in inappropriate cell proliferation or inappropriate cell death, as well as methods for monitoring the progress of such degenerative disorders.
