Title:
A POTASSIUM CHANNEL MOLECULE AND USES THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001066743
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated TWIK-6 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel TWIK-related potassium channel subunit molecules. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing TWIK-6 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a TWIK-6 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated TWIK-6 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-TWIK-6 antibodies. Diagnostic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
