32164 protein, a novel seven transmembrane protein

摘要

The present invention relates to a newly identified seven-transmembrane protein, potentially a receptor belonging to the superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors. The invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the protein. The invention further relates to methods using the polypeptides and polynucleotides as a target for diagnosis and treatment in 32164 protein-mediated or -related disorders. The invention farther relates to drug-screening methods using the polypeptides and polynucleotides to identify agonists and antagonists for diagnosis and treatment. The invention further encompasses agonists and antagonists based on the polypeptides and polynucleotides. The invention further relates to procedures for producing the polypeptides and polynucleotides.
