Patents by Inventor Yuri Kawai

Yuri Kawai 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).

  • Patent number: 7217800
    Abstract: A cDNA encoding a novel LTC4 receptor has been isolated. Provision of the novel protein, an LTC4 receptor, enabled binding experiments using the LTC4. By screening for compounds that modulate LTC4 receptor activity based on these binding experiments, development of drugs targeting the LTC4 receptor becomes possible.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 2, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 15, 2007
    Assignees: Astellas Pharma Inc., Helix Research Institute
    Inventors: Jun Takasaki, Masazumi Kamohara, Mitsuyuki Matsumoto, Tetsu Saito, Tohru Sugimoto, Toshio Ota, Takao Isogai, Tetsuo Nishikawa, Yuri Kawai
  • Publication number: 20070082345
    Abstract: Novel human secretory proteins or membrane proteins, and full length cDNAs encoding the proteins are provided. 173 kinds of novel proteins and polynucleotides encoding these proteins have been isolated. The proteins of the present invention are useful as candidates for medicines or as target molecules for developing medicines. The polynucleotides of the present invention are used to produce these proteins.

  • Patent number: 7129338
    Abstract: Human cDNA encoding a secretory or membrane protein useful as a candidate for developing medicine or as a target molecule for developing medicine. The expression level of the polynucleotide of the present invention increased in NT2 cells after retinoic acid-treatment. Accordingly, this cDNA is associated neurological disease.
