Abstract
A novel gene, dubbed “YS68”, involved in primitive hematopoiesis was successfully isolated from cDNA derived from mouse yolk sacs. In addition, a human gene corresponding to this gene was successfully isolated. Expression characteristics of these genes suggested their involvement in primitive hematopoiesis. The proteins of this invention and genes encoding the proteins may be utilized as tools for drug development against diseases, such as hematological disorders.
