  • Human NKX-6.1 polypeptide-encoding nucleotide sequences
    Patent number: 6436667
    Abstract: The present invention features a human Nkx-6.1 polypeptide and nucleotide sequences encoding Nkx-6.1 polypeptides. In a particular aspect, the polynucleotide is the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. In addition, the invention features polynucleotide sequences that hybridize under stringent conditions to SEQ ID NO:1. In related aspects the invention features expression vectors and host cells comprising polynucleotides that encode a human Nkx-6.1 polypeptide. The present invention also relates to antibodies that bind specifically to a human Nkx-6.1 polypeptide, and methods for producing human Nkx-6.1 polypeptides.
