  • Sequences of an Iion channel and use thereof
    Patent number: 7547763
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an isolated or purified human nucleic acid, preferably a DNA, comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an Ih ion channel. The invention further relates to a vector comprising the isolated or purified nucleic acid, a host cell comprising the vector, and a composition comprising the isolated or purified nucleic acid and a carrier therefore. The invention also provides a polypeptide or protein encoded by the nucleic acid, and a method of treating a mammal for a cardiovascular disorder.
    Type: Grant

  • Sequences of an Iion channel and use thereof
    Patent number: 7112667
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nucleic acid, preferably a DNA, comprising at least a part of the sequence of an Ih ion channel. Said sequence may e.g. be derived from a human DNA, a rat DNA, a bovine DNA, a Drosophila melanogaster DNA or a sea urchin DNA. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an mRNA molecule which contains the corresponding sequences. The invention further relates to a polypeptide or protein encoded by the nucleic acid. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the inventive nucleic acid and proteins for a screening and/or diagnosing method and to the kits required therefor. Lastly, the invention relates to the use of one or more nucleic acids and proteins for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of cardiovascular disorders and disturbances of consciousness.

  • Supported catalyst containing copper and alkali metals
    Patent number: 4382021
    Abstract: A supported catalyst containing copper and alkali metals, wherein the content of copper is from 1.0 to 12% by weight, based on total catalyst and expressed as metal, and the total content of the alkali metals potassium, lithium and sodium is from 0.3 to 9% by weight, based on total catalyst.The novel catalyst is useful for the preparation of 1,2-dichloroethane by oxychlorination of ethylene.
