Abstract
The present invention provides nucleotide and amino acid sequences that identify and encode a new human interleukin-1 converting enzyme homolog (ICEY). The present invention also provides for expression vectors for the production of purified ICEY, hybridization probes for the detection of ICEY-encoding nucleotide sequences, genetically engineered host cells for the expression of ICEY, diagnostic tests for ICEY or for polynucleotides encoding ICEY, and use of the protein to produce antibodies capable of binding specifically to the protein and use of the protein to screen for inhibitors.
