Isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding a human and mouse g protein-coupled receptor-gpr54: encoded proteins, cells transformed therewith and uses thereof

摘要

Disclosed herein are newly identified polynucleotides, polypeptides encoded by such polynucleotides, the use of such polynucleotides and polypeptides, as well as the production of such polynucleotides and polypeptides. More particularly, This invention relates to newly identified polynucleotides, polypeptides encoded by such polynucleotides, the use of such polynucleotides and polypeptides, as well as the production of such polypeptides by recombinant techniques. More particularly, the polynucleotides and polypeptides of the present invention relate to a G-Protein coupled receptor protein, hereinafter referred to as Human GPR54 (GPR54), which happens to be an orphan receptor protein. The invention also relates to inhibiting or activating the action of such polynucleotides and polypeptides.
