| Research Abstract |
Recently, we identified a novel hypothalamic gene in the avian and mammalian brains. We predict that this novel gene encodes a neuropeptide and this peptide is involved in the energy homeostasis. The identification of the specific receptor is essential to elucidate the physiological roles of the neuropeptide. In this study, we soughtthe receptor for the neuropeptide by signal transduction assay . Unfortunately , we could not find the specific receptor in this study .
