Abstract:
An isolated polypeptide molecule comprising a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of:(a) a polypeptide of amino acids 2-252 of SEQ ID NO:2;(b) a polypeptide of amino acids 1-252 of SEQ ID NO:2;(c) a polypeptide encoded by the cDNA contained in ATCC Deposit No. 97146;(d) a mature polypeptide encoded by the cDNA contained in ATCC Deposit No. 97146;(e) a polypeptide of at least 30 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:2 or of at least 30 contiguous amino acids encoded by the human cDNA in ATCC Deposit No. 97146;(f) a polypeptide of at least 50 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:2 or of at least 50 contiguous amino acid, encoded by the human cDNA in ATCC Deposit No. 97146,(g) a polypeptide encoded by at least 30 contiguous nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:1 or by at least 30 contiguous nucleotides of the human cDNA in ATCC Deposit No. 97146;(h) a polypeptide encoded by at least 50 contiguous nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:1 or by at least 50 contiguous nucleotides of the human cDNA in ATCC Deposit No. 97146;(i) a polypeptide fragment of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 or a polypeptide fragment encoded by the human cDNA in ATCC Deposit No. 97146, wherein said fragment has cellular growth activity;(j) a polypeptide comprising amino acids 136-152 of SEQ ID NO:2; and(k) a polypeptide variant of (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), or (j) resulting from conservative substitutions.
