Abstract:
A method for identifying a test compound that binds to a 103 gene product, comprising:a) contacting a test compound with an immobilized 103 gene product for a time sufficient to bind to and form a 103 gene product/compound complex; b) removing unbound test compound; and c) detecting the complex, wherein the 103 gene product comprises: (i) the amino acid residues of SEQ ID NO:39; (ii) the amino acid residues of SEQ ID NO:41; (iii) the amino acid residues of SEQ ID NO:43; or (iv) the amino acid residues of SEQ ID NO:45, so that if a 103 gene product/compound complex is detected in c), a test compound that binds to a 103 gene product is identified.
