Abstract:
This invention provides a novel nucleic acid molecule, CLAR1, isolated from a human adult heart cDNA library. This cDNA is derived from a novel gene that represents a late stage-specific marker for prostate cancer progression. The CLAR1 cDNA, along with its encoded protein and antibodies thereto, provides a biological marker for aggressive prostate cancer.
