Abstract
Methods for identifying a compound that modulates activity of an iRhom polypeptide according to aspects of the present invention are described herein which include contacting a cell expressing an iRhom polypeptide with a test compound; and determining the effect of the compound on activity of the iRhom polypeptide. Detection of a decrease in proteolytic activity of the iRhom polypeptide indicates that the compound is capable of one or more of: reducing tumor growth, reducing tumor progression, treatment of cancer and promoting hair growth in a subject, and detecting an increase in proteolytic activity of the iRhom polypeptide indicates that the compound is capable of accelerating wound healing in a subject.
