The invention provides poylpeptides, designated herein as POLYX polypeptides, as well as polynucleotides encoding POLYX polypeptides, and antibodies that immunospecifically-bind to POLYX polypeptide or polynucleotide, or derivatives, variants, mutants, or fragments thereof. The invention additionally provides methods in which the POLYX polypeptide, polynucleotide, and antibody are used in the detection, prevention, and treatment of a broad range of pathological states. |
