The present invention provides GPCR polypeptides and polynucleotides,
recombinant materials, and transgenic mice, as well as methods for their
production. The polypeptides and polynucleotides are useful, for example,
in methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders. The
invention also provides methods for identifying compounds (e.g., agonists
or antagonists) using the GPCR polypeptides and polynucleotides of the
invention, and for treating conditions associated with GPCR dysfunction
with the GPCR polypeptides, polynucleotides, or identified compounds. The
invention also provides diagnostic assays for detecting diseases or
disorders associated with inappropriate GPCR activity or levels.
