The present invention relates to novel polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules encoding the polypeptides. Also provided are vectors and host cells containing these nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising polypeptides fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies that bind to the polypeptides, and methods for producing the polypeptides. A novel polypeptide which is present in human lung tumor cells having a specific sequence similar to prostasin in a larger amount than normal cells. A chimeric molecule comprising the peptide and an epitope tag sequence or an immunoglobulin Fc region, and an antibody that specifically binds to the peptide. [Selection figure] None |
