Abstract
Nucleic acids encoding the long form and shorter isoform of the neurotensin receptor subtype 2, referred to as HNT2R (long) and HNT2R (short), are described. Polypeptides having amino acid sequences of the HNT2R and HNT2RS isolated proteins are also provided. A method is also provided for isolating and cloning receptors expressed from the novel HNT2R and HNT2R cDNAs for use in development/implementation of high throughput screens to identify novel neurotensin agonists and antagonists. Methods are also provided for identifying compounds that bind to HNT2R.
