Estimating the term…
The invention provides novel polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded by such polynucleotides and mutants or variants thereof that correspond to a novel human and mouse secreted stem cell growth factor-like polypeptide. These polynucleotides comprise nucleic acid sequences isolated from cDNA libraries prepared from mouse bone marrow and human fetal liver spleen, ovary, adult brain, lung tumor, spinal cord, cervix, ovary, endothelial cells, umbilical cord, placental, lymphocyte, lung fibroblast, fetal brain, and testis. Other aspects of the invention include vectors containing processes for producing novel human secreted stem cell growth factor-like polypeptides, and antibodies specific for such polypeptides.
An isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
An isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence encoded by a polynucleotide which hybridizes to the complement of the protein coding portion of SEQ ID NO:
An isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:
