Patent

CA 2240516

The present invention provides for a gene, designated as musk, that encodes a novel tyrosine kinase receptor expressed in high levels in denervated muscle. The invention also provides for an isolated polypeptide which activates MuSK receptor. The invention further provides for a polypeptide which is functionally equivalent to the MuSK activating polypeptide. The invention also provides assay systems that may be used to detect and/or measure ligands that bind the musk gene product. The present invention also provides for diagnostic and therapeutic methods based on molecules that activate MuSK.

L'invention concerne un gène appelé <u>musk</u>, qui code un nouveau récepteur du type tyrosine kinase exprimé à des niveaux élevés dans un muscle dénervé. Elle se rapporte encore à un polypeptide isolé qui active le récepteur MuSK ainsi qu'à un polypeptide qui est équivalent sur le plan fonctionnel au polypeptide activant MuSK. Elle porte aussi sur des systèmes de criblage qui peuvent être utilisés pour détecter et/ou mesurer les ligands qui se lient au produit génique <u>musk</u> et sur des méthodes diagnostiques et thérapeutiques basées sur les molécules activant MuSK.
