Terry P. Snutch has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Methods for identifying agonists and antagonists of human T-type calcium channels
    Patent number: 7297504
    Abstract: Sequences and partial sequences for three types of mammalian (human and rat) sequences identified) T-type calcium channel subunits which we have labeled as the ?1G, ?1H and ?1I subunits are provided. Knowledge of the sequence of these calcium channel permits the localization and recovery of the complete sequence from human cells, and the development of cell lines which express the novel calcium channels of the invention. These cells may be used for identifying compounds capable of acting as agonists or antagonists to the calcium channels.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 20, 2007
    Assignee: Neuromed Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

  • NOVEL HUMAN CALCIUM CHANNELS AND RELATED PROBES, CELL LINES AND MEHTODS
    Publication number: 20020009772
    Abstract: Partial sequences for a novel mammalian (human and rat sequences identified) calcium channel subunit which we have labeled as the &agr;1I subunit, and an additional novel human calcium channel which we have labeled as the &agr;1H subunit are provided. Knowledge of the sequence of these two calcium channels permits the localization and recovery of the complete sequence from human cells, and the development of cell lines which express the novel calcium channels of the invention. These cells may be used for identifying compounds capable of acting as agonists or antagonists to the calcium channels.
