Abstract:
A method for identifying a compound which modulates expression of a Hong Kong new gene 1 (HKNG1) gene comprising:(a) contacting a test compound to a cell that expresses an HKNG 1 gene; (b) measuring a level of HKNG1 gene expression in the cell; (c) comparing the level of HKNG1 gene expression in the cell in the presence of the test compound to a level of HKNG1 gene expression in the cell in the absence of the test compound, wherein if the level of HKNG1 gene expression in the cell in the presence of the test compound differs from the level of expression of the HKNG1 gene in the cell in the absence of the test compound, a compound that modulates expression of an HKNG1 gene is identified.
