NOVEL G PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTOR PROTEIN AND DNA THEREOF

摘要

It is intended to provide a novel G protein-coupled receptor protein, its DNA, etc. The novel G protein-coupled receptor protein, etc. and polynucleotides encoding this receptor protein, etc. are useful in: (1) determining a ligand (an agonist); (2) acquiring an antibody and an antiserum; (3) constructing a recombinant receptor protein expression system; (4) developing a receptor-bonded assay system and screening a candidate compound for a drug by using this expression system; (5) designing a drug based on a comparison with a ligand receptor having a similar structure; (6) a reagent for preparing a gene therapy probe and a PCR primer; (7) constructing a transgenic animal; and (8) using as a drug such as a preventive or a remedy.
