NOVEL G PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTOR PROTEINS AND DNAS THEREOF

摘要

DNAs encoding human leukocyte-origin 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-bonded assay system and screening candidate compounds for a drug with the use of the above expression system; (5) designing drugs based on the comparison with ligand receptors having similar structures; (6) reagents in preparing gene therapy probes, PCR primers, etc.; (7) constructing transgenic animals; and (8) drugs such as gene preventives and remedies.
