EGLN2 variants and use thereof in preventing or treating thromboembolic disorders and coronary heart disease
View Patent ↗The present invention refers to human EGLN2 variants having at position 58 of the amino acid sequence a serine or a leucine and their use in the prevention or treatment of thromboembolic or coronary heart diseases, in particular stroke, prolonged reversible ischemic neurological deficit (PRIND), transitoric ischemic attack (TIA), myocardial infarction and/or early myocardial infarction.
1. An isolated Egl Nine homolog 2 (EGLN2) protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3.
2. A therapeutic composition comprising an EGLN2 protein comprising the amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 3 for the prevention or treatment of coronary heart diseases.
3. The therapeutic composition according to claim 2 , wherein the coronary heart disease is myocardial infarction.
