SCREENING FOR DRUGS AGAINST DISORDERS ASSOCIATED WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA

摘要

A method of sreening for compounds useful for the treatment of SSDs comprising contacting a test compound with a y-synuclein polypeptide and detecting interactions of the test compounds with said polypeptide or a nucleotide sequence encoding y-synuclein for the diagnosing of SSDs or susceptibility to SSDs, a kit useful for diagnosing SSDs or susceptibility to a SSDs, and a transgenic animal useful for the study of SSDs.
