Drug development target protein and target gene, and method of screening

摘要

The present invention provides novel target proteins and target genes for drug discovery, and the means that enable the development of novel drugs using the same. More particularly, the present invention provides NCS proteins and genes thereof; screening methods for drug (for example, anti-central nervous disease drug); agents for regulating disease (for example, central nervous disease); production methods of a drug derivative; a complex comprising a drug and NCS protein, and a method of producing the complex; a kits comprising a drug or a salt thereof; determination methods for the onset or risk of onset of a specified disease, determination methods for susceptibility to a drug, and determination kits used for the determination methods; and the like.
