Abstract
The present invention relates to polynucleotide and polypeptide molecules for zsig51, a novel member of the cystine knot family of polypeptides. The polypeptides comprise a sequence of amino acid residues that is at least 80% identical in amino acid sequence to residues 1 through 106 of SEQ ID NO:2. The invention further provides therapeutic and diagnostic methods utilizing the polynucleotides, polypeptides, and antagonists of the polypeptides.
