Novel seven-transmembrane proteins/G-protein coupled receptors

An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of:

• a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence which is at least 60% identical to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, or 9 or the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with ATCC as Accession Number ______, ______, or ______, wherein said nucleotide sequence encodes a polypeptide having biological activity;
• b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a fragment of at least 20 nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, or 9 or the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with ATCC as Accession Number ______, ______, or ______;
• c) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 2, 5, or 8, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, ______, or ______;
• d) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a fragment of a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 2, 5, or 8, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, ______, or ______ wherein the fragment comprises at least 15 contiguous amino acids of SEQ ID NO:
• 2, 5, or 8, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, ______, or ______;
• e) a nucleic acid molecule which encodes a naturally occurring allelic variant of a biologically active polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 2, 5, or 8, or the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of the plasmid deposited with the ATCC as Accession Number ______, ______, or ______, wherein the nucleic acid molecule hybridizes to a nucleic acid molecule comprising the complement of SEQ ID NO:
• 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, or 9 under stringent conditions;
• and,
• f) a nucleic acid molecule comprising the complement of a), b), c), d), or e).
