The invention relates to Tango-73, Tango-74, Tango-76, Tango-78, and
Tango-83 polypeptides, nucleic acid molecules encoding Tango-73,
Tango-74, Tango-76, Tango-78, and Tango-83, and uses thereof. The
invention provides isolated nucleic acids encoding a variety of proteins
having diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, and other uses. These nucleic
and proteins are useful for diagnosis, prevention, and therapy of a
number of human and other animal disorders. The invention also provides
antisense nucleic acid molecules, expression vectors containing the
nucleic acid molecules of the invention, host cells into which the
expression vectors have been introduced, and non-human transgenic animals
in which a nucleic acid molecule of the invention has been introduced or
disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated polypeptides,
fusion polypeptides, antigenic peptides and antibodies. Diagnostic,
screening, and therapeutic methods using compositions of the invention
are also provided. The nucleic acids and polypeptides of the present
invention are useful as modulating agents in regulating a variety of
cellular processes.
