DNA MOLECULES ENCODING THE MELANOCORTIN 5 RECEPTOR PROTEIN FROM RHESUS MONKEY

摘要

The present invention relates to rhesus monkey DNA molecules encoding the melanocortin-5 receptor protein, recombinant vectors comprising DNA molecules encoding rhesus MC-5R, recombinant host cells which contain a recombinant vector encoding rhesus MC-5R, the rhesus MC-5R protein encoded by the DNA molecule, and methods of identifying selective agonists and antagonists of rhesus MC-5R.
