52871, a novel human G protein coupled receptor and uses thereof

摘要

The invention provides isolated nucleic acids molecules, designated 52871 nucleic acid molecules, which encode novel G-Protein Coupled Receptor molecules. The invention also provides antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing 52871 nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a 52871 gene has been introduced or disrupted. The invention still further provides isolated 52871 proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-52871 antibodies. Diagnostic methods utilizing compositions of the invention are also provided.
