NOVEL G PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTOR PROTEIN AND DNA THEREOF

摘要

A human-origin protein or its salt: a DNA encoding this protein; a method of determining a ligand to the above protein; a method/kit for screening compounds capable of altering the binding properties of the ligand to the protein; the compounds obtained by the screening or salts thereof; etc. The above-described human-origin protein or the DNA encoding the same can be used in: (1) determining a ligand to this protein; (2) preventives and/or remedies for diseases in association with the dysfunction of the above protein; (3) screening compounds (agonists, antagonists, etc.) capable of altering binding properties of the ligand to the protein; etc.
