Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to isolated proteins which code for metabotropic GABA receptors and which, together with GABAB receptor proteins, form a metabotropic GABA receptor complex (= protein heteromer). The invention also relates to nucleic acid sequences or recombinant nucleic acid constructs whi ch code for the proteins. In addition, the invention relates to host organisms or transgenic animals containing the nucleic acid sequences or the recombinant nucleic acid constructs and to monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies which are directed against the isolated proteins. The invention also relates to a meth od for locating substances with a specific affinity to binding to the inventive novel GABA receptors or to the inventive GABA receptor complexes, to a metho d for qualitatively or quantitatively detecting the inventive nucleic acid sequences or the inventive proteins, and to a method for locating substances which specifically bind to an inventive GABA receptor or to an inventive nucleic acid sequence. The invention also relates to the use of the nucleic acid sequences and proteins. Finally, the invention relates to substances wi th which the activity of metabotropic GABA receptors can be influenced by influencing the stability of the protein heteromer. |
