This invention provides methods of modifying feeding behavior, including increasing or decreasing food consumption, e.g., in connection with treating obesity, bulimia or anorexia. These methods involve administration of compounds that are selective agonists or antagonists for the Y5 receptor. One such compound has the structure:
In addition, this invention provides an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a Y5 receptor, an isolated Y5 receptor protein, vectors comprising an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a Y5 receptor, cells comprising such vectors, antibodies directed to the Y5 receptor, nucleic acid probes useful for detecting nucleic acid encoding Y5 receptors, antisense oligonucleotides complementary to any unique sequences of a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a Y5 receptor, and nonhuman transgenic animals which express DNA encoding a normal or a mutant Y5 receptor.
这项发明提供了修改饮食行为的方法,包括增加或减少食物摄入量,例如与治疗肥胖症、暴食症或厌食症有关。这些方法涉及到给予选择性Y5受体激动剂或拮抗剂的化合物。其中一种化合物的结构如下:此外,该发明还提供了编码Y5受体的分离核酸分子、分离的Y5受体蛋白、包含编码Y5受体的分离核酸分子的载体、包含这种载体的细胞、针对Y5受体的抗体、用于检测编码Y5受体的核酸探针、与编码Y5受体的任何独特序列互补的反义寡核苷酸,以及表达正常或突变Y5受体的非人类转基因动物。
