Abstract
The present invention provides an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a brain cyclic nucleotide gated ion channel (BCNG) protein. An isolated BCNG protein is also provided as is a composition comprising a BCNG encoding nucleic acid or protein or a portion thereof. The present invention also provides a method of identifying an ion channel subunit related protein encoding nucleic acid molecule in a sample. The invention further provides a method for evaluating the ability of a compound to modulate an ion channel associated neurological, cardia, or renal condition. The invention also provides a method for evaluating the ability of a compound to interact with a BCNG-related ion channel subunit protein. Additionally, the present invention provides a method for identifying a compound capable of modulating the activity of a BCNG-related protein. The present invention additionally provides a method of treating a cardiac, renal or neurological condition. Finally, the present invention provides an antibody which specifically reacts with BCNG protein.
