NOVEL G PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTOR PROTEINS AND DNAS THEREOF

摘要

Rat brain stem vicinity-origin and human fetus-origin G protein-coupled receptor proteins, peptide fragments thereof or salts of the same; nucleic acids encoding the receptor proteins and derivatives thereof, etc. The above G protein-coupled receptor proteins or nucleic acids encoding the same and the derivatives thereof are usable in determining ligands (agonists) to the above G protein-coupled receptor proteins, as preventives and/or remedies for diseases in association with the dysfunction of the G protein-coupled receptor proteins, as gene diagnostics, in screening compounds capable of altering the expression dose of the above receptor proteins or peptide fragments thereof, etc.
