ABSTRACT:
The present invention features a novel human protein (ANK), nucleotide sequences encoding human ANK, and assays for ANK activity, including assays to identify therapeutics and diagnostic assays, e.g., for susceptibility to diseases such as arthritis. In related aspects the invention features expression vectors and host cells comprising polynucleotides that encode a human ANK. The present invention also relates to antibodies that bind specifically to a human ANK, and methods for producing human ANK polypeptides.
