Claims
- 1. A method for the treatment of a subject having need to promote the interaction of an HFGAN72 receptor ligand and HFGAN72 receptor comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agonist that activates the interaction of an HFGAN72 receptor ligand and HFGAN72 receptor, wherein said receptor ligand is a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which is at least 95% identical to an amino acid selected from the group consisting: of SEQ ID NOs: 2-4, 6, and 8-12.
- 2. A method for the treatment of a subject having need to inhibit interaction of an HFGAN72 receptor ligand and HFGAN72 receptor comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody against the interaction of an HFGAN72 receptor ligand and HFGAN72 receptor, where said receptor ligand is a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which is at least 95% identical to an amino acid selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NOs: 2-4, 6, and 8-12.
- 3. A method for the treatment of a subject having need to inhibit interaction of an HFGAN72 receptor ligand and HFGAN72 receptor, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antagonist that inhibits the interaction of an HFGAN72 receptor ligand and HFGAN72 receptor, wherein said receptor ligand is a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which is at least 95% identical to an amino acid selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NOs: 2-4, 6, and 8-12.
- 4. A method for the treatment of a subject in need of a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which is at least 95% identical to an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NOs: 2-4, 6, and 8-12.
