ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a novel human phospholemman-like protein (HPLP) and the polynucleotides which identify and encode HPLP. The invention provides for genetically engineered expression vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequence encoding HPLP and for a method for producing the protein. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing HPLP and the use of such compositions for the prevention or treatment of diseases associated with the expression of HPLP. Additionally, the invention provides antisense molecules to HPLP and their use in the treatment of diseases associated with the expression of HPLP. The invention also provides diagnostic assays which utilize polynucleotides which hybridize with naturally occurring sequences encoding HPLP and antibodies which specifically bind to the protein.
