Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to a DNA sequence comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a variant .alpha..sub.2B-adrenoceptor protein and to the variant .alpha..sub.2B-adrenoceptor protein as well as a method for screening a subject to determine if the subject is a carrier of a variant gene that encodes the variant .alpha..sub.2B-adrenoceptor protein. This invention also relates to a method for treating a mammal suffering from vascular contraction of coronary arteries, the method comprising the step of administering a selective .alpha..sub.2B-adrenoceptor antagonist to the mammal. This invention further relates to transgenic animals comprising a human DNA molecule encoding human .alpha..sub.2B-adrenoceptor protein or the variant .alpha..sub.2B-adrenoceptor protein.
