The present invention provides a novel protein and its use. The protein or its
salt, the partial protein, its amide or ester, or salts, and DNA encoding the same
can be employed for obtaining antibodies and antisera, constructing the expression
system of the protein of the present invention, for constructing the assay system
for the GABA transporter activity and screen medicament candidate compounds using
the expression system, for making drug design based on the steric structure of
GABA transporters, as agents for producing probes or PCR primers in gene diagnosis,
for preparing transgenic animals or as pharmaceuticals for the prevention/treatment
of genetic disorders.
