Novel guanosine triphosphate (GTP) binding protein-coupled receptor protein, BG3

摘要

The present inventors isolated a cDNA which encodes a novel human G protein-coupled receptor protein, by deducing a unique region highly conserved among known G protein-coupled receptor proteins and screening cDNAs by using the probe corresponding to the region. The G protein-coupled receptor protein of the present invention can be used to screen for ligands and candidate pharmaceutical compounds capable of modulating the signal transduction mediated by the receptor.
