Abstract
The present invention relates to polynucleotides encoding the CYP3AX protein and variants thereof. Further, the present invention also provides vectors comprising said polynucleotides, in particular vectors, wherein polynucleotides of the present invention are operatively linked to regulatory elements allowing expression in prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic host cells. In addition, the present invention relates to proteins encoded by said polynucleotides and antibodies specifically recognizing such proteins. The present invention also concerns transgenic non-human animals comprising the above-described polynucleotide or vectors. Moreover, the present invention relates to methods for identifying and obtaining drug candidates and inhibitors for therapy of disorders related to the malfunction of the CYP3AX genes as well as to methods of diagnosing the status of such disorders. The present invention also relates to methods for the identification of molecular variants of the CYP3AX polynucleotide or protein. The present invention furthermore provides pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions comprising the above-described polynucleotides, vectors, proteins, antibodies, drugs and inhibitors obtainable by the above-described method. Said compositions are particularly useful for diagnosing and treating various diseases with drugs that are substrates, inhibitors or modulators of CYP3AX genes or their product.
