Abstract
The present invention provides an antibody which specifically recognizes three-dimensional structure of an extracellular region of a polypeptide encoded by PERP (p53 apoptosis effector related to PMP-22) gene and binds to the extracellular region. The antibody of the present invention is useful for treatment of various diseases which highly expresses a polypeptide encoded by the PERP gene. Also, a polypeptide encoded by the PERP gene or a cell expressing the polypeptide can be specifically detected by an immunological method using the antibody, so that the antibody is useful for diagnosis of various diseases related to PERP.
