Abstract
The present invention relates to SAD polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides, cells, tissues and animals containing such nucleic acids, antibodies to such polypeptides, assays utilizing such polypeptides, and methods relating to all of the foregoing. Methods for treatment, diagnosis, and screening are provided for SAD related diseases or conditions characterized by an abnormal interaction between a SAD polypeptide and a SAD binding partner.
Claims15
