Disclosed herein are nucleic acid sequences that encode novel
polypeptides. Also disclosed are polypeptides encoded by these nucleic
acid sequences, and antibodies, which immunospecifically-bind to the
polypeptide, as well as derivatives, variants, mutants, or fragments of
the aforementioned polypeptide, polynucleotide, or antibody. The
invention further discloses therapeutic, diagnostic and research methods
for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders involving any one
of these novel human nucleic acids and proteins.
