| 摘要 |
<p>This invention relates to a new family of receptors, growth hormone secretagogue-related receptors, which exhibit moderate sequence identity to both the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) and the neurotensin receptor (NT-R). These newly identified receptors are expressed in a diverse set of tissues. This invention also relates to nucleic acids encoding these receptors, and to the use of these receptors to identify ligands that modulate growth hormone release or other endocrine functions.</p> |
