The present invention provides novel polynucleotides encoding LTRPC3g,
LTRPC3h, LTRPC3i, LTRPC3j, LTRPC3k, or LTRPC3l polypeptides, fragments
and homologues thereof. Also provided are vectors, host cells,
antibodies, and recombinant and synthetic methods for producing said
polypeptides. The invention further relates to diagnostic and therapeutic
methods for applying these novel LTRPC3g, LTRPC3h, LTRPC3i, LTRPC3j,
LTRPC3k, or LTRPC3l polypeptides to the diagnosis, treatment, and/or
prevention of various diseases and/or disorders related to these
polypeptides. The invention further relates to screening methods for
identifying agonists and antagonists of the polynucleotides and
polypeptides of the present invention.
