Claims10
A composition comprising a recombinant DNA molecule encoding the amino acid sequence of the 60.5 kd bovine or the human ANP receptor protein subunit, said composition being free of DNA molecules that do not encode said amino acid sequence.
A recombinant DNA vector capable of transforming a selected host cell comprising a DNA coding sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of the 60.5 kd bovine or the human ANP receptor protein subunit, said coding sequence being oriented with respect to a heterologous DNA control sequence in said vector so that said coding sequence is transcribed in a host cell transformed by said vector.
A mammalian cell line or progeny thereof transformed by a recombinant DNA vector capable of transforming said mammalian cell comprising a DNA coding sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of the 60.5 kd bovine or the human ANP receptor protein subunit, said coding sequence being oriented with respect to a DNA control sequence heterologous to said mammalian cell in said vector so that said coding sequence is transcribed in a host cell transformed by said vector.
