Abstract
Isolated polynucleotides encoding monkey and canine Melanin Concentrating Hormone (MCH) Type 2 receptors and chimeric polypeptides are provided. Vectors and cells for recombinant expression of such MCH receptor polypeptides, and isolated MCH receptor polypeptides are also provided. MCH receptor polynucleotides and polypeptides may be used, for example, to identify agents that specifically interact with MCH receptor. Such agents find use within therapies for humans and animals afflicted with conditions associated with MCH receptor activation.
