The present invention relates to a novel protein, the Human Oncogene
Induced Secreted Protein I ("HOIPS I") protein. In particular, isolated
nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding the human HOIPS I protein.
HOIPS I polypeptides are also provided as are vectors, host cells and
recombinant methods for producing the same. Antibodies to human HOIPS I
are also provided, as are diagnostic methods for detecting abnormal cell
proliferation and differentiation disorders and therapeutic methods for
treating the same.
