DROSOPHILA G PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTORS, NUCLEIC ACIDS, AND METHODS RELATED TO THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides a Drosophila melanogaster GPCR (DmGPCR) polypeptides and polynucleotides which identify and encode such a DmGPCR. In addition, the invention provides expression vectors, host cells and methods for its production. The invention also provides methods for the identificati on of homologs in other animals, and of DmGPCR agonists/antagonists, useful for the treatment of diseases in animals and for the control of insects that are injurious of harmful to plants or animals.
