Patent ID: 6946262

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to: (a) the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide of (SEQ ID NO:127); (b) the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide of (SEQ ID NO:127), lacking its associated signal peptide; (c) the amino acid sequence of the extracellular domain of the polypeptide of (SEQ ID NO:127); (d) the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide encoded by the full-length coding sequence of the nucleic acid sequence of (SEQ ID NO:126); or (e) the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide encoded by the full-length coding sequence of the cDNA deposited under ATCC accession number 209263; wherein said polypeptide inhibits endothelial cell growth.
