A novel member of the uteroglobin family of proteins, designated as BU101, is described. BU101 is defined by a set of contiguous and partially overlapping RNA sequences transcribed from breast tissue, and polypeptides encoded thereby. A fully sequenced clone representing the longest continuous sequence of BU101 is also disclosed. These sequences are useful for the detecting, diagnosing, staging, monitoring, prognosticating, preventing or treating, or determining the predisposition of an individual to diseases and conditions of the breast such as breast cancer. Also provided are antibodies which specifically bind to BU101-encoded polypeptide or protein, and agonists or inhibitors which prevent action of the tissue-specific BU101 polypeptide, which molecules are useful for the therapeutic treatment of breast diseases, tumors or metastases.

L'invention porte sur un membre nouveau de la famille de protéines-utéroglobines, appelé BU101, celui-ci étant défini par un ensemble de séquences d'ARN contiguës et en partie imbriquées, transcrites à partir de tissu mammaire, et de polypeptides codés par BU101. L'invention porte également sur un clone entièrement séquentiel représentant la séquence continue la plus longue de BU101. Ces séquences servent à détecter, diagnostiquer, classer par stades, contrôler, pronostiquer, prévenir ou traiter les maladies du sein, ou encore à déterminer la prédisposition d'une personne à ces maladies ou à des états de maladies du sein, tels que le cancer du sein. Elle porte enfin sur des anticorps se liant spécifiquement au polypeptide ou à la protéine codé(e) par BU101, ainsi que sur des agonistes ou des inhibiteurs empêchant l'action du polypeptide spécifique codé par BU101, ces molécules étant utiles au traitement thérapeutique de maladies du sein, de tumeurs ou de métastases dans le sein.
