Novel receptor polypeptides, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, and related compositions and methods are disclosed. The polypeptides comprise an extracellular domain of a cell-surface receptor that is expressed in kidneys, pancreas, prostate, adrenal cortex and nervous tissue. The polypeptides may be used within methods for detecting ligands that promote the proliferation and/or differentiation of these organs.

Class II cytokine receptor-7

Novel receptor polypeptides, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, and related compositions. The polypeptides of the present invention can be used to down-regulate their natural ligands. The polynucleotides and subsequences thereof can be used as diagnostic probes to determine if chromosome 19 is mutated. The antibodies which bind to the polypeptides can be used to purify the receptors and to inhibit the binding of the ligands onto the receptors.

Mammalian cytokine-like receptor 5

The present invention provides testis-specific insulin homolog polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, as well as related compositions and methods are disclosed. The polypeptides and polynucleotides may be used within methods for enhancing viability of cryopreserved sperm, for enhancing sperm motility, to enhance fertilization in methods of assisted reproduction, as contraceptives and other related uses.

Testis-specific insulin homolog polypeptides

Novel class II cytokine receptor polypeptides, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, an related compositions and methods are disclosed. Th polypeptides comprise an extracellular domain of a cell-surface receptor that is expressed in pancreas, small intestine, colon and thymus. The polypeptides may be used within methods for detecting ligands that promote the proliferation and/or differentiation of these organs.
