Abstract
The present invention relates to the identification of a human gene family expressed in metabolically relevant tissues. The genes encode a group polypeptides referred to as “Protein Cluster I” which are predicted to be useful in the diagnosis of metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, as well as in the identification of agents useful in the treatment of the said diseases.
Claims8
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from:
- (a) nucleic acid molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
