    摘要: The present invention relates to methods of using a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) to identify whether a candidate compound is a modulator of atherogenesis. In certain embodiments, the GPCR couples to Gi. In certain embodiments, the GPCR is human. Agonists of the invention are useful as therapeutic agents for the prevention or treatment of atherosclerosis and atherosclerotic disease, including coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, peripheral arterial disease, and ischemic stroke. Agonists of the invention are additionally useful as therapeutic agents for the prevention or treatment of conditions related to MCP-1 expression, including but not limited to rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and multiple sclerosis.

    摘要: Methods for generating an expression-enhanced GPR22 nucleic acid, as well as substituted GPR22 nucleic acids providing for enhanced expression of the encoded GPR22 polypeptide, are provided. In practicing the subject methods, a nucleic acid encoding a mammalian GPR22 receptor polypeptide (e.g., a wild-type nucleic acid) is expression-enhanced by identifying the various codons of the coding region for the GPR22 amino acid sequence and substituting nucleotides so as to enhance expression without changing the amino acid sequence of the encoded GPR22 polypeptide. Methods, compositions, and kits using the same for screening of modulators of GPR22 are also provided.
