  • Publication number: 20070203326
    Abstract: Methods for isolating ILK genes are provided. The ILK nucleic acid compositions find use in identifying homologous or related proteins and the DNA sequences encoding such proteins; in producing compositions that modulate the expression or function of the protein; and in studying associated physiological pathways. In addition, modulation of the gene activity in vivo is used for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes, such as identification of cell type based on expression, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20060211008
    Abstract: The invention is directed to polynucleotides encoding ?-parvin, a newly identified tumor suppressor gene the alteration of which is involved in the occurrence of breast cancer in a patient, as well as to corresponding expressed polypeptides. The invention also concerns diagnostic methods using the ?-parvin polynucleotides and/or peptides and embodiments thereof as diagnostic or therapeutic tools for breast cancer or in assays to identify pharmacological agents for the treatment of breast cancer.
