Patents by Inventor Zhong Sheng Sun

Zhong Sheng Sun has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Mammalian circadian regulator M-RIGUI2 (MPER2)
    Patent number: 6210923
    Abstract: The present invention provides DNA encoding a m-rigui2 protein selected from the group consisting of: (a) isolated DNA which encodes a m-rigui2 protein; (b) isolated DNA which hybridizes to isolated DNA of (a) above and which encodes a m-rigui2 protein; and (c) isolated DNA differing from the isolated DNAs of (a) and (b) above in codon sequence due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, and which encodes a m-rigui2 protein. Also provided is a vector capable of expressing the DNA adapted for expression in a recombinant cell and regulatory elements necessary for expression of the DNA in the cell. Further, a host cell transfected with the vector disclosed herein the vector expressing a m-rigui2 protein.
    Type: Grant
