摘要:
Through the use of the novel receptor NER in a screening procedure, TOFA (5-tetradecyloxy)-2-furan-carboxylic acid) has been found to modulate other receptors and to be a potent potentiator of other drugs. TOFA activates the NER receptor. The NER receptor is a novel member of the steroid hormone receptor family and has been prepared by cDNA cloning from a human osteosarcoma SAOS-2/B10 cell library. Also disclosed is the complete sequence of human NER cDNA; a COS stable expression system; the expressed NER protein; and an assay using the COS expression system. In addition, the invention relates to a method for identifying functional ligands of the NER receptor.
摘要:
A novel member of the Wnt-family of growth factors, termed Wnt-x, has been identified and DNA encoding the growth factor has been isolated, purified, sequenced and expressed in host cells. This DNA encoding the novel Wnt-x protein and host cells expressing the Wnt-x protein are used to identify modulators of the Wnt-x growth factor.
摘要:
The NER receptor is a novel member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily and has been prepared by cDNA cloning from a human osteosarcoma SAOS-2/B10 cell library. The complete sequence of human NER complementary DNA (Seq. ID No. 1), expression systems including a COS stable expression system, the expressed protein (SEQ. ID No. 2) and an assay using the COS expression system are disclosed. The assay may be used to identify agents which activate transcription mediated by the NER receptor, and which are useful for potentiating the activity of a modulator of a G-protein coupled receptor wherein the G-protein coupled receptor is a member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily.

摘要:
A novel human protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) has been identified and its cDNA has been isolated. This novel PTP, denoted PTP-OB, has a receptor-like three dimensional structure and is present in osteoblasts. PTP-OB is involved in osteoblast differentiation, and modulators of PTP-OB activity in turn modulate osteoblast differentiation, osteoclast differentiation and osteoclast activity.
