ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses a polynucleotide and polypeptide of arrestin 2. Also disclosed are methods for producing such polypeptide. This invention also discloses a method of identifying compounds that bind to arrestin 2 or odorant receptors. A method of identifying compounds that inhibit the binding of mosquito arrestin 2 to a mosquito odorant receptor is also disclosed.
