A polynucleotide encoding a GPCR comprises a sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO.1, a sequence having at least 70% identity thereto, a sequence capable of hybridising thereto or a sequence complementary thereto. Also claimed are probes or primers comprising at least 15 contiguous nucleotides of any such sequence. A GPCR polypeptide sequence comprises a sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO.2 or variant, fragment, homologue, analogue or derivative thereof or may have the deduced amino acid sequence translated from SEQ ID NO.1. Alternatively, such polypeptide may be encoded by the cDNA of <I>E. coli</I> Pfi-013 deposited as NCIMB 41073. |
