| abstract |
H-SGK2 polypeptides and polynucleotides and methods for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing H-SGK2 polypeptides and polynucleotides in the design of protocols for the treatment of chronic and acute inflammation, arthritis, osteoarthritis, septicemia, autoimmune diseases (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis), transplant rejection, graft vs. host disease, infection, stroke, ischemia, acute respiratory disease syndrome, renal disorders, restenosis, brain injury, AIDS, metabolic and other bone diseases (e.g., osteoporosis), cancer (e.g., lymphoproliferative disorders), atherosclerosis, and Alzheimers disease, among others, and diagnostic assays for such conditions. |
