  • Naked cuticle genes and their uses
    Patent number: 6630323
    Abstract: Methods for isolating naked cuticle genes are provided. The naked cuticle 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.
