<p>A human-origin protein or its salt; a DNA encoding this protein; a method of determining a ligand to this protein; a screening method/a screening kit for a compound capable of alterning the binding properties of the ligand to the protein; a compound obtained by the screening or its salt, etc. The above-described human-origin protein and the DNA encoding the same are usable in: (1) determining a ligand to the protein; (2) preventives and/or remedies for diseases in association with the dysfunction of the protein; (3) screening a compound (an agonist, an antagonist, etc.) capable of alterning the binding properties of the ligand to the protein, etc.</p> |
