| abstract |
The present invention relates to novel genes and polypeptides derived therefrom encoding a syntaxin interacting protein. The invention also describes vectors and host cells comprising the novel gene. The invention further describes methods for using the novel gene, polypeptides, and antibodies specifically targeting polypeptides derived from the novel genes, in the detection of genetic deletions of the gene, subcellular localization of the polypeptide, isolation of discrete classes of RNA, gene therapy applications, diagnostics for syndromes involving insulin resistance, development of proprietary screening strategies for inhibitors of syntaxin interacting protein. |
