摘要: The present invention pertains to novel yeast cells which are useful for the expression of heterologous G protein coupled receptors. can be used in screening assays screen modulators Specifically, provides express a receptor and mutant and/or chimeric subunit molecules serve functionally integrate into pheromone signaling pathway cell. also receptors integrated cell membrane using α factor leader sequence. Drug discovery subject provided.
