Polypeptides encoded by a nucleic acid are expressed in esophageal and kidney tumor
View Patent ↗The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides encoded by nucleic acids that are differently expressed in esophageal and kidney tumors.
1. An isolated polypeptide comprising:
(a) the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:46;
(b) the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:46, lacking its associated signal peptide, amino acids 1-22;
(c) the amino acid sequence of amino acids 23-223 of SEQ ID NO:46;
(d) the amino acid sequence of amino acids 23-223 of SEQ ID NO:46, including its associated signal peptide, amino acids 1-22; or
(e) the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide encoded by the full-length coding sequence of the cDNA deposited under ATCC accession number 209956.
2. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 comprising the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:46.
3. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 comprising the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:46, lacking its associated signal peptide, amino acids 1-22.
4. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 comprising the amino acid sequence of amino acids 23-223 of SEQ ID NO:46.
5. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 comprising the amino acid sequence of amino acids 23-223 of SEQ ID NO:46, including its associated signal peptide, amino acids 1-22.
6. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1 comprising the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide encoded by the full-length coding sequence of the cDNA deposited under ATCC accession number 209956.
7. A chimeric polypeptide comprising a polypeptide according to claim 1 fused to a heterologous polypeptide.
8. The chimeric polypeptide of claim 7 , wherein said heterologous polypeptide is a tag polypeptide or an Fc region of an immunoglobulin.
