Abstract:
1. A method of identifying a modulator of signal transduction affected by an Inactivation No Afterpotential D (InaD) protein, comprising: a) contacting a first cell with a test chemical, b) activating said signal transduction in said first cell, c) detecting said signal transduction from said first cell with a signal transduction detection system, d) contacting a second cell with said test chemical, e) activating said signal transduction in said second cell, f) detecting said signal transduction from said second cell with a signal transduction detection system, and g) comparing said signal transduction from said first cell with signal transduction from said second cell, wherein a difference in detected signal transduction from said first cell and said second cell identifies said test chemical as a modulator of signal transduction affected by InaD.
