ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a purified and isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the p58 receptor protein. The present invention also provides vectors encoding this nucleic acid molecule, a host cell stably transformed or transfected with the vector, as well as the p58 receptor protein produced by this host cell. The present invention further provides methods for detecting nucleic acid encoding the p58 receptor as well as the p58 receptor protein in biological samples, methods for identifying a ligand capable of binding to the p58 receptor protein, and methods for screening for drugs capable of acting as agonists or antagonists to the p58 receptor protein. The present invention also provides the agonists and antagonists identified by the screening methods, as well as their use. Lastly, the present invention provides chimeric protein comprising the cytoplasmic region of a p58 receptor protein.
