Dna encoding rat bombesin receptor subtype-3 (brs-3) and uses thereof

摘要

A rat bombesin receptor subtype-3 has been isolated, cloned and sequenced. This receptor is characteristic of the G-protein family of receptors. Isolation of rat bombesin receptor subtype-3 may be used to screen and identify novel bombesin receptor modulators that may contribute to the regulation of endocrine processes, metabolism, or the cell cycle. Such compounds may be used in the treatment of conditions that result from deregulated expression of bombesin receptor subtype-3.
