ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a polynucleotide which identifies and encodes a human cell death-associated protein (cdap) which was isolated from a rheumatoid synovium library. The invention provides for genetically engineered expression vectors and host cells comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding CDAP. The invention also provides for the therapeutic use of purified CDAP, cdap or its antisense molecules, or CDAP inhibitors in pharmaceutical compositions and for treatment of conditions or diseases associated with expression of CDAP. The invention also describes diagnostic assays which utilize diagnostic compositions comprising the polynucleotide, or fragments thereof, or antibodies which specifically bind to the polypeptide.
