PTH1R receptors
The present invention relates to novel parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP) receptors (PTH1R and PTH3R) isolated from zebrafish. The receptors of the present invention share homology with previously identified parathyroid hormone (PTH)/parathyroid related protein (PTHrP) receptors. Isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding the zebrafish PTH1R and PTH3R receptors. PTH1R and PTH3R receptor polypeptides are also provided, as are vectors, host cells and recombinant methods for producing the same. The invention further relates to screening methods for identifying agonists and antagonists of PTH1R and PTH3R receptor activity and to diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
1. An isolated PTH1R polypeptide selected from the group consisting of:
(a) the amino acid sequence of the PTH1R polypeptide having the complete amino acid sequence from positions 1 to 536 in SEQ ID NO:2;
(b) the amino acid sequence of the PTH1R polypeptide having the amino acid sequence from positions 2 to 536 in SEQ ID NO:2;
(c) the amino acid sequence of the mature PTH1R polypeptide having the amino acid sequence from positions 25 to 536 in SEQ ID NO:2;
(d) the amino acid sequence of the PTH1R polypeptide having the complete amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA clone deposited with the ATCC as patent deposit PTA-916;
(e) the amino acid sequence of the mature PTH1R polypeptide having the amino acid sequence encoded by the eDNA clone deposited with the ATCC as patent deposit PTA-916;
(f) the amino acid sequence of the PTH1R receptor extracellular domain, said extracellular domain having the amino acid sequence from position 25 to position 147 in SEQ ID NO:2;
