Nucleic acid molecules encoding human luteinizing hormone-human chorionic gonadotropin receptor protein and transformants thereof

Abstract

Disclosed are (1) a human luteinizing hormone-human chorionic gonadotropin receptor protein, (2) a DNA comprising a CDNA segment coding for a human luteinizing hormone-human chorionic gonadotropin receptor protein, SEQ ID NO:2 (3) a transformant carrying a DNA comprising a cDNA segment SEQ ID NO:1 coding for a human luteinizing hormone-human chorionic gonadotropin receptor protein, and (4) a method for preparing a human luteinizing hormone-human chorionic gonadotropin receptor protein which comprises cultivating the transformant described in (3), accumulating a protein SEQ ID NO:2 in a culture broth, and collecting the same, whereby the structure and properties of the receptor protein are made clear and the mass production thereof by recombinant technology is pioneered.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
