Abstract
A recombinant human neurokinin-3 receptor (hereinafter identified as human NK3R) is disclosed which has been prepared by polymerase chain reaction techniques. Also disclosed is the complete sequence of human NK3R complementary DNA; expression systems, including a CHO (chinese hamster ovarian cell line) stable expression system; and an assay using the CHO expression system. Human NK3R can be used in an assay to identify and evaluate entities that bind to the neurokinin-3 receptor.
