Abstract
The present invention provides polynucleotides which identify and encode a novel human nm23-like protein (H-nm23). The invention provides for genetically engineered expression vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequence encoding H-nm23 and for a method for producing the protein. The invention also provides for the use of substantially purified H-nm23 for the for the treatment of diseases associated with the expression of H-nm23. The invention also describes diagnostic assays which utilize diagnostic compositions comprising the polynucleotides which hybridize with naturally occurring sequences encoding H-nm23 and antibodies which specifically bind to the protein.
