ABSTRACT:
Novel DRT111 polypeptides, proteins, and nucleic acid molecules are disclosed. In addition to an isolated, full-length DRT111 protein, the invention further provides isolated DRT111 fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-DRT111 antibodies. The invention also provides DRT111 nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing a nucleic acid molecule of the invention, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced and non-human transgenic animals in which a DRT111 gene has been introduced or disrupted. Diagnostic, screening and therapeutic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
