Abstract

The invention features polynucleotides encoding novel GTP-binding polypeptides, hereinafter referred to as RAQ polypeptides; expression vectors comprising a RAQ polynucleotide of the invention; isolated cells comprising a RAQ-encoding vector; a transgenic non-human animal comprising an alteration in a RAQ gene; and the use of RAQ polynucleotides in detecting in an individual the presence of a genetic polymorphism of a RAQ gene. The invention further features novel RAQ polypeptides; monoclonal antibodies specific for RAQ polypeptides; and a method for making RAQ polypeptides.
