NOVEL G PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTOR PROTEIN AND DNA THEREOF

摘要

A human-origin G protein-coupled receptor protein, a peptide fragment or sal ts thereof; a nucleic acid encoding this receptor protein and its derivative; a nucleic acid having an antisense sequence to the base sequence encoding the above receptor protein and its derivative; a process for producing the above G protein-coupled receptor protein; a method for determining a ligand to the above G protein-coupled receptor protein; a method/kit for screening a compound capable of altering the binding of the ligand to the above G protei n- coupled receptor protein; a compound obtained by the screening or its salt; and an antibody against the above G protein-coupled receptor protein, etc.
