Screening Methods for Compounds that Modulate the Activity of G-Protein Coupled Receptors

摘要

The present invention relates to a screening system for modulators of GPCRs. Further it relates to recombinant vector systems for the heterologous expression of heterodimeric g-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in eucaryotic host cells. Preferably the functional expression of engineered GPCRs for the perception of sweet and L-amino acid taste or more preferably the use of said receptors for the identification of functional ligands is also encompassed.
