  • Purified and isolated platelet calcium channel nucleic acids and polypeptides and therapeutic and screening methods using same
    Patent number: 7427488
    Abstract: Isolated and purified platelet voltage dependent calcium channel (VDCC) ?1 subunit polypeptides, and nucleic acid molecules encoding the same. Recombinant host cells, recombinant nucleic acids, and recombinant proteins are also disclosed, along with methods of producing each. Isolated and purified antibodies to platelet VDCC ?1 subunit polypeptides, and methods of producing the same, are also disclosed. Platelet VDCC ?1 subunit polypeptides have biological activity in calcium transport. Thus, therapeutic and diagnostic methods involving this activity are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 2003
    Date of Patent: September 23, 2008
    Assignee: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
    Inventors: Timothy C. Nichols, Nadia Malouf, Elizabeth Merricks
