Abstract
Disclosed are nucleic acid and amino acid sequences encoded by a novel, prostate specific gene (UC41) and diagnostic techniques for the detection of human prostate cancer utilizing such nucleic acid and amino acid sequences. Genetic probes and methods useful in monitoring the progression and diagnosis of prostate cancer are described. Methods of treatment for prostate cancer utilizing antisense constructs or antibodies specific for UC41 gene products are also described.
