Abstract
The present invention relates to polynucleotide and polypeptide molecules for mouse ztryp1, a novel member of the serine protease family of proteins. The polynucleotides encoding mouse ztryp1 can be used to identify a human ortholog or to create a mouse model associated with human disease states. The present invention also includes methods for producing the protein, uses therefor and antibodies thereto.
