GENES ENCODING G-PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTORS AND METHODS OF USE THEREFOR

摘要

The present invention relates generally to the fields of neuroscience, bioinformatics and molecular biology. More particularly, the invention relates to newly identified polynucleotides that encode G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), the use of such polynucleotides and polypeptides, as well as the production of such polynucleotides and polypeptides. The invention relates also to identifying compounds which may be agonists, antagonists and/or inhibitors of GPCRs, and therefore potentially useful in therapy.
