| 20090264526 | Natural ligand of G protein coupled receptor RCC356 and uses thereof - The invention relates to the identification of isovaleric acid as a natural ligand of the RCC356 G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR). The invention encompasses the use of the interaction of RCC356 polypeptides and isovaleric acid as the basis of screening assays for agents that modulate the activity of the RCC356 receptor. The invention also encompasses diagnostic and other assays performed based upon the RCC356/isovaleric acid interaction, as well as kits for performing diagnostic and screening assays. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090136968 | Novel in vitro methods for studying receptors recognizing volatile compounds - The present invention in particular relates to in vitro methods to identify and/or confirm the binding and/or function of a volatile compound onto a membrane-integrated receptor using volatile-compound-Binding Protein (BP) or compositions thereof. Additionally, the present invention relates to kits comprising receptor proteins recognizing volatile compounds or a candidate receptor for said compound; and; BP, a complex or composition thereof. Said kits may be used to identify and/or confirm the binding and/or function of volatile compounds onto a membrane-integrated receptor. | 05-28-2009 |
