The present invention relates to a newly identified human PGP synthase.
The invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the PGP synthase.
The invention further relates to methods using the PGP synthase
polypeptides and polynucleotides as a target for diagnosis and treatment
in PGP synthase-mediated or -related disorders. The invention further
relates to drug-screening methods using the PGP synthase polypeptides and
polynucleotides to identify agonists and antagonists for diagnosis and
treatment. The invention further encompasses agonists and antagonists
based on the PGP synthase polypeptides and polynucleotides. The invention
further relates to procedures for producing the PGP synthase polypeptides
and polynucleotides.
