14926 RECEPTOR, A NOVEL G-PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTOR

摘要

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