NOVEL G PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTOR PROTEIN AND DNA THEREOF

摘要

A human brain-origin protein (a G protein-coupled receptor protein) or its salt; a DNA encoding this protein; a method of determining a ligand to this protein; a method/kit for screening a compound (for example, an agonist, an antagonist) capable of altering the binding properties of the ligand to the protein; a compound obtained by the screening or its salt, etc. The human brain-origin protein as described above or the DNA encoding the same can be used in preventives and/or remedies for diseases in association with the dysfunction of the protein.
