  • Prolactin regulatory element binding protein and uses thereof
    Patent number: 6586581
    Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding Prolactin Regulatory Element Binding protein (PREB) and recombinant proteins encoded thereby. The nucleic acid sequences are useful in the production of recombinant PREB, as probes, and in the control of gene expression, and in particular, in the control of prolactin gene expression. In particular embodiments of the invention, PREB nucleic acid sequences are used to detect transcripts of the gene in astrocytomas, to detect trisomy and to detect a propensity of a subject to develop osteoporosis. In other embodiments of the invention, the PREB nucleic acid sequences, or the products thereof, are used for preventing or controlling osteoporosis in a subject.
