Claims
- 1. An isolated DNA segment encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or portion thereof of at least 6 amino acids in length.
- 2. A recombinant DNA molecule comprising a vector and the DNA segment according to claim 1.
- 3. A cell transformed with the DNA molecule according to claim 2.
- 4. A method of producing an oxytocin receptor having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or portion thereof of at least 6 amino acids in length, comprising culturing said cells according to claim 3 under conditions such that said DNA segment is expressed so that said oxytocin receptor, or portion thereof, is produced, and isolating said oxytocin receptor.
- 5. An isolated DNA segment having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or portion thereof of at least 18 nucleotides in length.
