Human G-protein coupled receptor polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such polypeptides and a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed were methods for utilizing such polypeptides for identifying antagonists and agonists to such polypeptides and methods of using the agonists and antagonists therapeutically to treat conditions related to the underexpression and overexpression of the G-protein coupled receptor polypeptides, respectively. Also disclosed are diagnostic methods for detecting a mutation in the G-protein coupled receptor nucleic acid sequences and an altered level of the soluble form of the receptors.
