ABSTRACT:
The novel gene, Rasp-1, which is up-regulated in regenerating liver, is disclosed. The novel RASP-1 protein, which is encoded by the Rasp-1 gene, is also disclosed. In addition, antibodies against the Rasp-1 gene products are also disclosed. Furthermore, the use of Rasp-1 nucleic acid sequences, Rasp-1 gene products, and antibodies against Rasp-1 gene products in the treatment and diagnosis of liver disorders is also disclosed.
