NOVEL SLC17-TYPE TRANSPORTER PROTEIN IN MAMMAL AND USE THEREOF

摘要

It is an object of the invention to isolate a transporter responsible for ATP transport and a gene encoding the transporter. It is another object of the invention to provide a method for the screening of a medicament for treating and/or regulating pain in central nerves, blood coagulation by platelet-derived ATP, or the like, the method employing such a transporter. According to the invention, a transporter responsible for ATP transport and a gene encoding the transporter were isolated. Furthermore, there is provided a method for the screening of a medicament for treating and/or regulating pain in central nerves, blood coagulation by platelet-derived ATP, or the like, the method employing such a transporter.
