ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a polynucleotide which identifies and encodes a novel human leptin receptor gene-related protein (LRGRP). The invention also provides expression vectors, host cells, agonists, and antagonists. The invention also provides methods for treating metabolic, reproductive, connective tissue and reproductive disorders.
