  • Use of the receptor GPR86
    Patent number: 7879564
    Abstract: We describe a method of identifying a molecule suitable for the treatment, prophylaxis or alleviation of a GPR86 associated disease, in particular inflammatory disease or pain, the method comprising determining whether a candidate molecule is an agonist or antagonist of GPR86 polypeptide, in which the GPR86 polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 5 or SEQ ID NO: 7, a fragment thereof or a sequence which is at least 90% identical thereto.

  • VDCC Gamma-8 Ion Channel
    Publication number: 20090180959
    Abstract: VDCC ?-8 polypeptides comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 3, SEQ ID NO. 5 or SEQ ID NO: 7, and homologues, variants and derivatives thereof are provided. Nucleic acids capable of encoding VDCC ?-8 polypeptide are also disclosed, in particular, those comprising the nucleic acid sequences shown in SEQ ID No. 1, SEQ ID No. 2, SEQ ID NO. 4 or SEQ ID NO: 6. These polypeptides and polynucleotides are implicated in mental illness and are useful in screening for therapeutic agents useful in treating mental illness.
