The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides having sequence
similarity to Stra6, a murine retinoic acid responsive protein, and to
nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein
are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences,
chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present
invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which
bind to the polypeptides of the present invention and to methods for
producing the polypeptides of the present invention.
