ABSTRACT:
The invention provides isolated polynucleotide molecules which encode novel isoforms of the human Vitamin D receptor (hVDR) or variant transcripts for hVDR. These isolated polynucleotide molecules may be utilized in, for example, methods of screening compounds for VDR agonist and/or antagonist activities.
