Novel g protein-coupled receptor protein and dna thereof

摘要

The present invention relates to a human-derived G-protein coupled receptor protein or a partial peptide thereof or a salt thereof, a nucleic acid encoding said receptor protein and a derivative thereof. A G-protein coupled receptor protein derived from a human hippocampus according to the invention or a nucleic acid encoding said protein and a derivative thereof can be used in determining a ligand (agonist) for a G-protein coupled receptor protein of the invention, in a preventing and/or treating agent against a disease related to a dysfunction of a G-protein coupled receptor protein of the invention, in a gene diagnostic agent, and in screening for a compound capable of altering the expression level of a receptor protein of the invention or a partial peptide thereof.
