In accordance with the present invention, there are provided novel G-protein-coupled receptor proteins (CRF-R) characterized by having sufficient binding affinity for corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) such that concentrations of 10nM of CRF occupy 50 %of the binding sites of said receptor protein. Nucleic acid sequences encoding such receptors, assays employing same, as well as antibodies derived therefrom, are also disclosed. Invention CRF-Rs can be employed in a variety of ways, such as, for example, in bioassays, for production of antibodies thereto, in therapeutic compositions containing such proteins and/or antibodies.

Cette invention concerne de nouvelles protéines réceptrices couplées avec la protéine G (CRF-R). Ces protéines réceptrices possédent une affinité de liaison assez grande avec le facteur libérateur de la corticotrophine de sorte que les concentrations de facteur libérateur de corticotrophine inférieures ou égales à 10 nM occupent au moins 50 % des sites de liaison desdites protéines réceptrices. Cette invention concerne également les séquences d'acides nucléiques codant ces récepteurs, les dosages les employant ainsi que les anticorps qui en sont dérivés. Les CRF-R selon l'invention peuvent être utilisés dans divers domaines comme, par exemple, dans les tests biologiques, dans la production d'anticorps, ou dans des compositions thérapeutiques contenant ces protéines et/ou ces anticorps.
