Abstract

The invention relates to the identification and cloning of a two novel full-length human SLAP-2 variants and their encoded polypeptides, hSLAP-2v3 and hSLAP-2v4. hSLAP-2v3 and hSLAP-2v4 are members of the SLAP family of adapter proteins and are involved in the negative regulation of intracellular T-cell signal transduction. The invention further relates to the use of these novel hSLAP-2v3 and hSLAP-2v4 polynucleotides and their encoded polypeptides as targets for therapeutic intervention in immunological and inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, pulmonary diseases, proliferative immune disorders, and cancer.
