ABSTRACT:
Human UCE 7, UCE 8 and UCE 9 polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such polypeptides and a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of utilizing such polypeptide for the treatment of the proliferation of malignant cells. Antagonists against such polypeptides and their uses as a therapeutic to treat Alzheimer's disease, atrophying skeletal muscle, African swine fever virus and apoptotic cell death are also disclosed. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting diseases related to mutations in UCE 7, 8 and 9 nucleic acid sequences and the concentration of polypeptides encoded by such sequences.
