CA 2379360

The present invention relates to novel identified polynucleotides, polypeptides encoded by them and to the use of such polynucleotides and polypeptides, and to their production. More particularly, the polynucleotides and polypeptides of the present invention relate to the G-protein coupled receptor family, referred to as IGS1-family. The invention also relates to inhibiting or activating the action of such polynucleotides and polypeptides, to a vector containing said polynucleotides, a host cell containing such vector and transgenic animals where the IGS1-gene is either overexpressed, misexpressed, underexpressed or suppressed (knock-out animals). The invention further relates to a method for screening compounds capable to act as an agonist or an antagonist of said G-protein coupled receptor family IGS1 and the use of IGS1 polypeptides and polynucleotides and agonists or antagonists to the IGS1 receptor family in the treatment of psychiatric and CNS disorders.

La présente invention concerne des polynucléotides nouvellement identifiés, les polypeptides codés par lesdits polynucléotides, l'utilisation de ces polynucléotides et polypeptides et leur production. En particulier, les polynucléotides et polypeptides de la présente invention appartiennent à la famille des récepteurs couplés aux protéines G, que l'on appelle famille IGS1. L'invention concerne également l'inhibition ou l'activation de l'action de ces polynucléotides et polypeptides, un vecteur contenant lesdits polynucléotides, une cellule hôte contenant le vecteur précité ainsi que des animaux transgéniques chez lesquels le gène IGS1 est surexprimé, mal exprimé, sous-exprimé voire supprimé (animaux <= knock-out >=). L'invention concerne enfin une méthode de criblage de composés pouvant avoir une activité d'agoniste ou d'antagoniste vis-à-vis de la famille IGS1 des récepteurs couplés aux protéines G, ainsi que l'utilisation des polypeptides et des polynucléotides IGS1 et des agonistes ou antagonistes de la famille des récepteurs IGS1 dans le traitement des troubles psychiatriques et des dysfonctionnements du système nerveux central.
