Abstract

This invention provides an isolated nucleic acid encoding a mammalian galanin receptor, an isolated galanin receptor protein, vectors comprising an isolated nucleic acid encoding a galanin receptor, cells comprising such vectors, antibodies directed to the galanin receptor, nucleic acid probes useful for detecting nucleic acid encoding galanin receptors, antisense oligonucleotides complementary to unique sequences of a nucleic acid encoding a galanin receptor, nonhuman transgenic animals which express DNA encoding a normal or a mutant galanin receptor, as well as methods of determining binding of compounds to the galanin receptor.
