ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the discovery of novel genes and proteins, which function in pathways involved in brain pathogenesis. In particular, the novel genes and proteins relate to inflammatory tissue responses caused by brain injuries such trauma, ischemia or autoimmune-inflammation or other diseases or processes related to neuroinflammation. The compounds disclosed in the present invention are useful as therapeutics, diagnostics and in screening assays.
