This invention provides an isolated nucleic acid encoding a human MCH1 receptor, a purified human MCH1 receptor, vectors comprising isolated nucleic acid encoding a human MCH1 receptor, cells comprising such vectors, antibodies directed to a human MCH1 receptor, nucleic acid probes useful for detecting nucleic acid encoding human MCH1 receptors, antisense oligonucleotides complementary to unique sequences of nucleic acid encoding human MCH1 receptors, transgenic, nonhuman animals which express DNA encoding a normal or mutant human MCH1 receptor, methods of isolating a human MCH1 receptor, methods of treating an abnormality that is linked to the activity of a human MCH1 receptor, as well as methods of determining binding of compounds to mammalian MCH1 receptors. This invention further provides a method of treating a subject suffering from urinary incontinence which comprises administering to the subject an amount of an MCH1 antagonist effective to treat the subject's urinary incontinence.
该发明提供了编码人类MCH1受体的孤立核酸,纯化的人类MCH1受体,含有编码人类MCH1受体的孤立核酸的载体,含有这种载体的细胞,针对人类MCH1受体的抗体,用于检测编码人类MCH1受体的核酸探针,与编码人类MCH1受体的核酸的独特序列互补的反义寡核苷酸,表达编码正常或突变人类MCH1受体的转基因非人类动物,分离人类MCH1受体的方法,治疗与人类MCH1受体活性相关的异常的方法,以及确定化合物与哺乳动物MCH1受体结合的方法。该发明还提供了一种治疗患有尿失禁的受试者的方法,包括向受试者投予足以治疗受试者尿失禁的MCH1拮抗剂。
