Abstract
The present invention provides two novel families of novel human transporter proteins (NTPs). The invention additionally provides for agonists, antagonists, antibodies, antisense molecules that are specific for the NTPs, and further provides genetically engineered expression vectors for the NTPs and host comprising the same. The invention further provides for processes for identifying/producing molecules that effect NTP activity which comprise the use of the disclosed NTPs or genes encoding the same.
