| 摘要 |
The present invention intends to provide a novel protein useful for a screening of agonist/antagonist, and the like. Specifically, the present invention provides a novel protein or its salt, a DNA encoding the protein, a determination method of ligand for the protein, a screening method/kit for a compound that alters a binding property between a ligand and the protein, a compound obtained from the screening or its salt, and the like. The protein of the present invention or the DNA encoding the same can be used for (1) determination of ligands for the protein of the present invention; (2) a prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for diseases associated with dysfunction of the protein of the present invention; (3) a screening of a compound (agonist, antagonist, etc.) that alters the binding property between the protein of the present invention and ligand; and the like. |
