ABSTRACT:
This invention provides novel human capsaicin receptors and the nucleotide sequences encoding these receptors. Also provided are vectors encoding these receptors and mammalian and non-mammalian cells expressing these vectors. Further provided are assays for identifying compounds that modulate capsaicin receptors and diagnostic assays for capsaicin receptor polymorphisms and aberrant capsaicin receptor expression.
