Assay Employing G Protein-Coupled Receptor Expressed In Dorsal Root Ganglia

View page
US Patent:
7510845, Mar 31, 2009
Filed:
Mar 17, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/083611
Inventors:
David J. Anderson - Altadena CA, US
Xinzhong Dong - Pasadena CA, US
Mark J. Zylka - Pasadena CA, US
Melvin I. Simon - La Jolla CA, US
Assignee:
California Institute of Technology - Pasadena CA
International Classification:
G01N 33/566
C07K 14/705
US Classification:
435 72, 435 721, 436501
Abstract:
The invention relates generally to novel genes expressed in normal but not Neurogenin-1-deficient animals. The invention relates specifically to a novel family of G protein-coupled receptors and a novel family of two-transmembrane segment proteins that are expressed in dorsal root ganglia, and a method of screening for genes specifically expressed in nociceptive sensory neurons.

US Patent:
20030059848, Mar 27, 2003
Filed:
Sep 17, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/245175
Inventors:
Steven Reppert - Newton MA, US
David Weaver - Londonderry NH, US
Mark Zylka - Pasadena CA, US
Xiaowei Jin - Boston MA, US
Kazuhiko Kume - Belmont MA, US
Sriram Sathyanarayanan - Somerville MA, US

Assignee:
The General Hospital Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation
International Classification:
G01N033/53
US Classification:
435/007100
Abstract:
The invention is based, in part, on the discovery that the CRY proteins and the PER2 protein function as important modulators of mammalian circadian rhythm. The invention includes methods of modulating the circadian rhythm and identifying compounds that modulate the circadian rhythm.
