Abstract
Human EDG-1c polypeptides and polynucleotides and methods for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques are disclosed. Human EDG-1c is identified as a selective receptor for sphingosine-1-phosphate (“S-1-P”) and for di-hydro S-1-P. Also diclsosed are methods for discovering agonists and antagonists of the interaction between S-1-P and di-hydro S-1-P and their cellular receptor, human EDG-1c, which may have utility in the treatment of several human diseases and disorders.
