ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are DNA sequences encoding to cocaine and amphetamine regulated (CART) proteins, polypeptide products of recombinant expression of these DNA sequences, peptides whose sequences are based upon the amino acid sequences deduced from these DNA sequences, antibodies specific for such proteins and peptides, procedures for the detection and quantitation of such proteins and nucleic acids related thereto, as well as procedures relating to the development of bacteriolytic methods, therapeutic agents, and compositions utilizing CART proteins.
