Abstract:
1. A method of identifying a candidate HADH modulating agent, said method comprising the steps of: (a) providing an assay system comprising a purified or recombinant HADH polypeptide comprising amino acid residues 9 to 212 as set forth in SEQ ID NO:3, or a purified or recombinant HADH nucleic acid encoding said polypeptide; (b) contacting the assay system with a test agent under conditions whereby, but for the presence of the test agent, the system provides a reference activity; and (c) detecting a test agent-biased activity of the assay system, wherein a difference between the test agent-biased activity and the reference activity identifies the test agent as a candidate HADH modulating agent.
