  • Publication number: 20030138894
    Abstract: Binding polypeptides comprising specific amino acid sequences are disclosed that specifically bind ACE-2 protein or ACE-2-like polypeptides. The binding polypeptides can be used in methods of the invention for detecting, isolating, or purifying ACE-2 protein or ACE-2-like polypeptides in solutions or mixtures, or biological samples. The invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding these ACE-2 binding polypeptides, vectors and host cells containing these nucleic acids, and methods for producing the same. The present invention also relates to methods and compositions for detecting, diagnosing, prognosing, preventing, treating or ameliorating a disease or disorder associated with aberrant ACE-2 or ACE-2 receptor expression or inappropriate function of ACE-2 or ACE-2 receptor, comprising use of ACE-2 binding polypeptides or fragments or variants thereof, that specifically bind to ACE-2.

  • Patent number: 5968823
    Abstract: The present invention relates to materials and methods for the identification of agents that regulate glycine transport in or out of cells, particularly in or out of neuronal and neuronal-associated cells. Such materials include non-mammalian cells having transfected therein a glycine transporter. The methods relate to the manipulation of such cells such that agents are identified that cause intake or outflow of glycine with respect to a given glycine transporter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 9, 1998
    Date of Patent: October 19, 1999
    Assignee: Allelix Neuroscience Inc.
    Inventors: Laurence A. Borden, Michael De Vivo, Midori Yokoyama, Vivian R. Albert
  • Patent number: 5919653
    Abstract: The invention provides nucleic acids and proteins derived from the sequence of the human GlyT-2 transporter of the amino acid glycine.
    Type: Grant
