  • Patent number: 6831154
    Abstract: Protein complexes are provided comprising MAP17 and SCAMP2. The protein complexes are useful in screening assays for identifying compounds effective in modulating the protein complexes and in treating and/or preventing diseases and disorders associated with MAP17 and SCAMP2. In addition, methods for detecting the protein complexes and modulating the functions and activities of the protein complexes or interacting members thereof are also provided.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 14, 2004
    Assignee: Myriad Genetics, Inc.
    Inventor: Paul Bartel
  • Patent number: 6828421
    Abstract: Protein complexes are provided comprising VAP-A and one or more VAP-A-interacting proteins. The protein complexes are useful in screening assays for identifying compounds effective in modulating the protein complexes and in treating and/or preventing diseases and disorders associated with VAP-A and its interacting partners. In addition, methods of detecting the protein complexes and modulating the functions and activities of the protein complexes or interacting members thereof are also provided.

  • Patent number: 6653102
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the discovery of protein—protein interactions that are involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, the present invention is directed to complexes of these proteins and/or their fragments, antibodies to the complexes, diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders (including diagnosis of a predisposition to and diagnosis of the existence of the disorder), drug screening for agents which modulate the interaction of proteins described herein, and identification of additional proteins in the pathway common to the proteins described herein.
