  • Publication number: 20180169131
    Abstract: The present embodiments provide methods, compounds, and compositions for treating, preventing, ameliorating, or slowing progression of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), such as autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (AdRP) by administering a P23H rhodopsin specific inhibitor to a subject. The present embodiments provided herein are directed to compounds and compositions useful for treating, preventing, ameliorating, or slowing progression of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), such as autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (AdRP). In certain embodiments, P23H rhodopsin inhibitors provided herein are allele-specific antisense compounds targeted to a P23H mutant allele that are capable of selectively inhibiting expression of P23H rhodopsin mutant protein to a greater extent than wild-type protein.

  • Publication number: 20030022283
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel NPY/PYY receptor proteins and the nucleic acid sequence encoding them. The invention is directed to the isolation, characterization, and pharmacological use of these receptors and nucleic acids. In particular, this invention provides human and rat NPY/PYY receptors (which we call the NPY Y5 receptor) and nucleic acids. Also provided are recombinant expression constructs useful for transfecting cells and expressing the protein in vitro and in vivo. The invention further provides methods for detecting expression levels of the protein as well as methods for screening for receptor antagonists and agonists to be used for the treatment of obesity or anorexia, respectively.

  • Patent number: 6410686
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel galanin receptor protein, the GalR2 receptor. Also provided are the nucleic acid sequences encoding this novel receptor protein as well as methods for using this protein and its nucleic acid sequence, and methods useful for developing and identifying compounds for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which galanin is implicated. The importance of this discovery is manifested in the effects of galanin, which include antinociceptive activity, smooth muscle contraction, cardiovascular activity, pituitary hormone release, cognition, and increased food intake. Thus, this receptor protein is useful for screening for galanin agonist and antagonist activity for controlling these conditions.
