摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel polypeptide, PTP20, and to nucleic acid molecules encoding the polypeptide. The invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding portions of the phosphatase, nucleic acid vectors containing PTP20 related nucleic acid molecules, recombinant cells containing such nucleic acid vectors, polypeptides purified from such recombinant cells, antibodies to such polypeptides, and methods of identifying compounds that bind PTP20 or abrogate its interactions with natural binding partners. Also disclosed are methods for diagnosing abnormal conditions in an organism with PTP20 related molecules or compounds.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the modulation of transactivation of receptor tyrosine kinases by G protein or G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) mediated signal transduction in a cell or an organism comprising inhibiting the activity of the metalloprotease TACE/ADAM17 and/or the activity of the receptor tyrosine kinase ligand amphiregulin.
摘要:
The present invention relates to quinolinyloxyphenylsulfonamides and stereoisomeric forms, solvates, hydrates and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of these quinolinyloxyphenylsulfonamide compounds as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one of these compounds together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient and/or diluent. Said quinolinyloxyphenylsulfonamides are useful for prophylaxsis, treatment and/or after-treatment of hyperproliferative disorders, such as cancer, tumors and particularly cancer metastases.
摘要:
The present invention relates to diagnostic and therapeutic methods in the field of malignant disorders. Most particularly, the invention provides methods of determining the invasivity of malignant disorders and methods for reducing the invasivity of malignant disorders including the prevention or treatment of cancer cell invasion.
摘要:
The present invention provides a rodent animal for studying the molecular mechanisms and physiological processes associated with uncontrolled cell growth, e.g. cancer, and with a modified FGFR4.
摘要:
The present invention concerns the use of inhibitors for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases which are the consequence of increased receptor tyrosine kinase activity, particularly cancer. The use is particularly directed towards inhibition or lowering of the overexpression and/or altered activity of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). In particular, this altered activity of receptor tyrosine kinase can be triggered by a mutation of FGFR-4, wherein this mutation is in particular a point mutation in the transmembrane domain of FGFR-4 and leads to an exchange of a hydrophobic amino acid for a hydrophilic amino acid. The invention further concerns the use of an inhibitor directed against FGFR-4, for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of cancer. Furthermore, the invention concerns a mutated FGFR-4, which leads to over-expression and/or altered activity in cells. Finally, the invention concerns a DNA and RNA sequence of a mutated FGFR-4 molecule. Finally, in addition the invention concerns a pharmaceutical composition, containing the inhibitor as described above and further a diagnostic and screening procedure.

摘要:
The present invention relates to MDK1 polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides, cells, tissues and animals containing such nucleic acids, antibodies to such polypeptides, assays utilizing such polypeptides, and methods relating to all of the foregoing. Methods for treatment, diagnosis, and screening are provided for diseases or conditions characterized by an abnormality in a signal transduction disorder. The signal transduction pathway involves an interaction between a MDK1 receptor tyrosine kinase and a receptor for the kinase. The MDK1 receptor tyrosine kinase may be truncated and lack a kinase domain and may be selected from the group consisting of MDK1.T1, MDK1.T2, MDK1.Δ1 and MDK1.Δ2.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of Fibroblast-Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) agonists for the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of pathological conditions including, but not limited to hyperproliferative disorders, bone diseases and vascular diseases. Particularly, the use of FGFR-4 agonists, e.g. anti-FGFR-4 antibodies is described. Further, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the agonist as described above and a screening procedure.
