Abstract

The present invention provides nucleotide and amino acid sequences that identify and encode a novel serpin (CAPE) expressed in human hypothalamus. The present invention also provides for antisense molecules to the nucleotide sequences which encode CAPE, expression vectors for the production of purified CAPE, antibodies capable for binding specifically to CAPE, hybridization probes or oligonucleotides for the detection of CAPE-encoding nucleotide sequences, genetically engineered host cells for the expression of Cape, a pharmaceutical composition containing biologically active CAPE, a diagnostic test based on CAPE-encoding nucleic acid molecules, and treatment methods comprising administration of biologically active CAPE.
