  • Cloned lysophosphatidic acid receptors
    Patent number: 6140060
    Abstract: Described herein is an isolated polynucleotide encoding an LPA receptor. Also described is a recombinant DNA molecule comprising a nucleic acid encoding an LPA receptor and expression controlling elements linked therewith, as well as the use of nucleic acid coding for an LPA receptor for expression to obtain a functional receptor protein and for further gene cloning to identify structurally related receptor proteins. Also described herein is LPA receptor as a product of recombinant production in a cellular host. Described is a method of utilizing the LPA receptor in a chemical screening program to identify LPA receptor ligands. The invention further describes antibodies directed to the LPA receptor for use for example in diagnosis of conditions wherein the levels of LPA are altered.
