Novel g protein-coupled receptor proteins and dnas thereof

摘要

DNAs encoding human leukocyte-derived G protein-coupled receptor proteins or salts thereof are useful in: (1) determining ligands; (2) acquiring antibodies and antisera; (3) constructing a recombinant receptor protein expression system; (4) developing a receptor-bound assay system and screening candidate compounds for a drug using the expression system above; (5) designing drugs based on the comparison with ligand receptors having similar structures; (6) reagents in preparing probes, PCR primers, etc. for gene therapy; (7) constructing transgenic animals; (8) drugs such as gene preventives and remedies; etc.
