摘要:
The present invention relates to an isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 70% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 or to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:25; or encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 25, wherein the polypeptide is capable of phosphorylating myosin light chain. The present invention also relates to an isolated nucleic acid encoding said polypeptide; a composition and a kit comprising the polypeptide or the nucleic acid; a vector comprising the isolated nucleic acid; an isolated host cell comprising the nucleic acid or the vector; an antibody that specifically binds to the polypeptide of the present invention; and a transgenic non-human animal which expresses the nucleic acid of the present invention. The invention further relates to a method of detecting the presence of a nucleic acid of the present invention; and a method of producing a neukinase polypeptide of the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to neukinase, a downstream protein kinase in the neuregulin signaling pathway. In certain aspects, the present invention provides isolated neukinase-encoding nucleic acids, neukinase polypeptides, oligonucleotides that hybridize to neukinase nucleic acids, and expression vectors containing neukinase-encoding sequences. The present invention further provides isolated host cells, antibodies, transgenic non-human animals, compositions, and kits relating to neukinase.

摘要:
A method of causing cardiomyocyte growth and/or differentiation, the method comprising exposing a cardiomyocyte to neuregulin (NRG) thereby activating the MAP kinase pathway in the cardiomyocyte and causing growth and/or differentiation of the cardiomyocyte. Use of neuregulin, neuregulin polypeptide, neuregulin derivates, or compounds which mimic the activities of neuregulins in the treatment or management of heart disease and heart failure in a mammal.
摘要:
The present invention provides polypeptide variants of neuregulin-1beta (NRG-1beta) that have enhanced or decreased binding affinity to ErbB3 and/or ErbB4. The invention also provides methods of screening and producing polypeptide variants of NRG-1beta and methods of using polypeptide variants of NRG-1beta for treating diseases.
