<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new protein useful for screening agonists/antagonists, and the like. <P>SOLUTION: This human being-originated protein or its salt. The DNA encoding the protein. A method for determining a ligand for the protein. A method for screening a compound for screening the bondability of the ligand to the protein. A kit for screening the compound for screening the bondability of the ligand to the protein. The compound obtained by the screening or its salt, and the like. The human being-originated protein or the DNA encoding the protein can be used for (1) the determination of the ligand for the protein, (2) a medicine for preventing and/or treating a disease related to the function failure of the protein, (3) the screening of a compound for changing the bondability of the ligand to the protein, and the like. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
