ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to isolated polynucleotide comprising a sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polynucleotide comprising a sequence encoding the polypeptide SEQ ID NO:3 or a biologically active or immunogenic fragment thereof; (b) a polynucleotide comprising a sequence encoding the polypeptide SEQ ID NO:4 or a biologically active or immunogenic fragment thereof; (c) a polynucleotide which hybridises to a polynucleotide having a sequence complementary to that of the polynucleotide (a) and (b); and (d) a RNA equivalent to the sequences (a) to (c). The invention also provides methods of treatment and diagnosis of diseases associate with the repression or decreased expression of functional PRAP. In some instances, methods of treatment associated with the stimulation of cell proliferation is also provided, in particular, for the treatment of wounds.
