  • Nusap, a novel gene encoding a tissue-specific nuclear protein, useful as a diagnostic tool and therapeutic agent
    Publication number: 20030157072
    Abstract: The invention relates to a eukaryotic nuclear protein NuSAP which is highly expressed in proliferation tissues. More specifically, NuSAP is downregulated in developing bone. NuSAP has a discrete localization in the nucleus.
