Regulation of human serine-threonine protein kinase
View Patent ↗Reagents which regulate human serine-threonine protein kinase and reagents which bind to human serine-threonine protein kinase gene products can play a role in preventing, ameliorating, or correcting dysfunctions or diseases including, but not limited to, cancer, CNS disorders, diabetes, and COPD.
1. A method of screening for candidate therapeutic agents, comprising the steps of:
contacting a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 17 with a test compound;
assaying for binding between the protein and the test compound; and
identifying a test compound that binds to the protein as a candidate therapeutic agent that may be useful for treating colon cancer.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein either the test compound or the protein comprises a detectable label.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein either the test compound or the protein is bound to a solid support.
