Suppressors of death domains

Abstract

The invention provides methods and compositions relating to Suppressor of Death Domain (SODD) proteins which regulate cellular signal transduction and transcriptional activation, and related nucleic acids. The polypeptides may be produced recombinantly from transformed host cells from the disclosed SODD encoding nucleic acids or purified from human cells. The invention provides isolated SODD hybridization probes and primers capable of specifically hybridizing with the disclosed SODD genes, SODD-specific binding agents such as specific antibodies, and methods of making and using the subject compositions in diagnosis, therapy and in the biopharmaceutical industry.
