DNA encoding orphan SNORF43 receptor

Abstract

This invention provides a recombinant nucleic acid comprising a nucleic acid encoding a mammalian SNORF43 receptor, wherein the mammalian receptor-encoding nucleic acid hybridizes under high stringency conditions to a nucleic acid encoding a human SNORF43 receptor and having a sequence identical to the sequence of the human SNORF43 receptor-encoding nucleic acid contained in plasmid pEXJ.T3T7-hSNORF43-f (Patent Deposit Designation No. PTA______). This invention further provides a recombinant nucleic acid comprising a nucleic acid encoding a human SNORF43 receptor, wherein the human SNORF43 receptor comprises an amino acid sequence identical to the sequence of the human SNORF43 receptor encoded by the shortest open reading frame indicated in FIGS. 1A-1B (SEQ ID NO: 1).
