Abstract
This invention provides an isolated nucleic acid molecule which encodes a wildtype or mutated HOP-1. This invention also provides a purified wild-type HOP-1 protein or a purified mutated HOP-1 protein. This invention also provides a method for production of an antibody capable of binding to wild-type HOP-1 or mutated HOP-1 protein. This invention also provides an antibody capable of specifically binding to wild-type HOP-1 or mutated HOP-1. This invention also provides a transgenic animal comprising the isolated nucleic molecule encoding HOP-This invention also provides mutants in the endogenous hop-1 gene and various method to produce such mutants. This invention also provides a method for identifying a compound which is capable of ameliorating Alzheimer's disease. This invention also provides a method for determining whether a compound is capable of ameliorating Alzheimer's disease. This invention also provides a method for producing suppressors of a hop-1 allele. This invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition effective in ameliorating Alzheimer's disease and methods of using such a pharmaceutical composition.
