Assays for the identification of compounds useful for the modulation of body weight, metabolic rate, or feeding behavior are disclosed. Such compounds are useful for the treatment body weight disorders, e.g., obesity and cachexia. The methods involve cell-free and cell-based assays that identify compounds which alter ligand binding to and/or alter the activity of GPR10, a G protein-coupled receptor, optionally followed by an in vivo assay of the effect of the compound on feeding behavior, body weight, or metabolic rate.
